Hospice Concept

  • Hospice provides holistic care - treating the mind, body and spirit of those persons nearing the end of life's journey.
  • Hospice team members will provide support and assist you in making decisions about how and where you want to spend the rest of your life.
  • Hospice provides palliative care so you no longer have to endure treatments and procedures.
  • Hospice provides support to family and friends as they travel the journey with their loved one.
  • Hospice treats you, not the disease. The focus is on care, not cure. A team of hospice professionals and volunteers addresses your and your family's medical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs.
  • Hospice services are extended to your family, with your authorization. You and your family are included in the decision making process

Anyone can refer a patient to hospice. Admission will include communication with the physician to determine medical eligibility.

Qualifying patents are those:

With a life expectancy of 6 months or less if the illness runs its normal course.

Who desire palliative treatment?

Who desire a hospice team to administer care at place of residence?

During admission, our nurse will visit you and/or your family to discuss hospice services, assess your immediate needs and collaborate to formulate a plan of care that you approve.
