Description
What is Hospice?
Hospice services are for people who have a prognosis of six months or less to live. With pain relief and symptom control, hospice patients can live their final days to the fullest, surrounded by loved ones and the things they cherish.
Professionals Make Home Visits
A team of highly trained professionals and caring volunteers make home visits to help patients and their families with the medical, social, emotional and spiritual concerns that often arise during a life-threatening illness.
Volunteers offer support, encouragement and much-needed "breaks" to at-home care givers. The Hospice care team also visits terminally ill people who live in nursing homes or institutions.
