Our Patients’ Stories

Our Mission

Compassion, Peace and Dignity
It is our mission to treat our patients and family with compassion, peace, and dignity. We work with symptom and pain management that allow end-of-life patients to have the highest quality of life possible.

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 are here to provide your loved one with high quality care as they enter the last stages of their illness.

A Doctor’s Referral is Not Necessary
There are a variety of people and facilities that can refer your loved one to receive hospice care, including:  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
Hospice care is covered by Medicare, Medicaid and most private health insurances. Caring for your loved one is important without causing a financial burden.
