Compassion, Peace and Dignity
We understand this is a difficult time, and we will support you and your loved ones by treating your family with kindness, dignity, and serenity. Our work includes symptom and pain management so end-of-life patients can have an improved quality of life.
Comfort Versus Curative
Hospice should be considered when a patient has a terminal prognosis of 6 months or less (such as a disease that has run its normal course) or a child experiencing life-limiting illness. Our mission is to provide your loved one the highest quality of life during their final days.
A Doctor’s Referral is Not Necessary
Hospice care is not strictly available with a doctor’s referral, but is available through a hospital, clergy, family, friend, or other home care agency referral. The patient is admitted under a physician’s direction. Conveniently complete an online hospice referral through our website.
