Description
Caring Hospice Services is a unique, holistic and cost-effective service designed to meet the social, emotional, spiritual and physical needs of our patients and families as they face terminal illness.
We provide end-of-life comfort care for patients who have chosen to forego further curative treatment for their terminal illness. We provide nursing, personal care, spiritual support and social work services to the patient (and their family) in the comfort of his/her home (i.e. a private residence or nursing facility). Volunteers support our patients and their families by providing companionship, respite care, complementary therapies, sewing memory butterfly pillows and pet/music/art-assisted therapies
Caring Hospice Services is certified by the Joint Commission for Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and a member of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO).
