We’ve come a long way in medicine since the days of yellow fever and polio epidemics. Yet for most Americans end-of-life issues remain hidden in the shadows of mystery, fear and suffering. A life-limiting diagnosis for you or a loved one does not need to mean pain and hopelessness. Our hospice care services provide a specialized program of care provided for patients and their families who are facing life limiting illnesses.

The philosophy is to relieve pain and other symptoms associated with life-limiting illness. Based primarily in the home, provided services include medically-directed, nurse-coordinated care and support, enabling families to remain together in peace, comfort, and dignity. Examples of life-limiting illnesses: Cancer, Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), Stroke (CVA), Pulmonary Diseases (COPD), Renal Disease, Liver Disease, Dementia/Alzheimer’s Disease, AIDS, Failure to Thrive, Debility Unspecified, ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease), and Parkinson’s disease.

Hospice care is designed to benefit everyone - from the patient to family members and friends. This is achieved by determining the needs of each individual served by the Hospice team, carefully assessing the available alternatives, and encouraging them to make decisions that will best meet their needs.
