Our Patients’ Stories

Our Mission

Compassion, Peace and Dignity

During this difficult time, we will always be there to support you and your loved ones by you by being compassionate, peaceful, and treating you with the dignity you and your family deserve. Our work includes symptom and pain management so end-of-life Westport patients can achieve new goals with an improved quality of life.


Comfort Versus Curative

We recommend considering hospice with the presence of a terminal prognosis of 6 months or less (including a disease that has run its normal course) or a child that is suffering from a life-limiting illness. We want to ensure the highest quality of life during final portion of your loved one’s time.

A Doctor’s Referral is Not Necessary

There are no specifics to people who can request hospice care. A referral can be completed online through our website by a hospital, clergy, family, friend or other home care agency. The patient will be admitted under a physician’s direction.
