Our Patients’ Stories

Our Mission

Compassion, Peace and Dignity
We understand how emotionally draining this process is. We support you and your loved ones with the compassion, peace and dignity they deserve. We strive to improve their quality of life through symptom and pain management treatment and care.

 

Comfort Versus Curative

Consider hospice when there is a terminal prognosis of 6 months or less, (a disease that has run its normal course) or if a child is suffering from a life-limiting illness. We want to give your loved one the best possible care during their remaining days.

A Doctor’s Referral is Not Necessary
Anyone may request hospice care. A patient may be referred by a hospital, clergy, family, friend or other home care agency and will be admitted under a physician’s direction. An online hospice referral can be conveniently completed through our site.



Hospice is Affordable
Medicare, Medicaid and many private health insurances cover hospice care, which allows you to provide your loved ones with the safe and exceptional care they deserve.
