Patient & Family care

Hospice is a different kind of health care.  It is about focusing on the quality of life and giving the patient dignity until the end.

With Hospice, the focus of care shifts from aggressive treatment to maximizing the patient's comfort.  An individualized plan of care, with comfort as a goal, is directed by the patient and family, and supported by the hospice team.
