Hospice is a special kind of care for the terminally ill and their loved ones that:
- Treats the patient as a whole—their body, their mind and their spirit.
- Provides care in the patient’s home—wherever that may be—or in one of our Hospice Homes.
- Concentrates on keeping the patient as comfortable as possible in their final days, so they can focus less on their illness and more on the things that matter most.
- Is there for both the patient and their loved ones.
- Treats patients with a wide range of illnesses, such as heart disease, cancer, kidney disease, lung disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Regardless of the patient’s condition or age, hospice is available to anyone who has been diagnosed with a life-limiting illness and a prognosis of 6 months or less.
