Mission Statement
Lexington Hospice focuses on enhancing quality of life while preserving dignity for end of life needs. We provide care, compassion and support for patients and their loved ones.
Description
Hospice is a special way of caring for patients and families when illness no longer responds to cure-oriented treatment. Hospice is a special way of caring for patients experiencing a life-limiting illness and is a way of living as well as a plan of care. The Lexington hospice team of physicians, nurses, volunteers, chaplains, bereavement counselors, and social workers partner with the patient and the patient's family to develop a plan of care that is right for the patient. Lexington respects the patient's individuality. We support the patient's freedom of choice plus the need to preserve dignity and to retain control of life.
