We have quite a few hospice patients who are in memory care facilities. Beacuse they have advanced Alzheimer's and dementia, they have difficulty responding to conversation. BUT when they see a dog their hearts open up and they experience pure JOY. If you are an owner of a pet therapy dog please come volunteer with us and make a huge difference in the life of a hospice patient.

Mission Statement
Compassionate Care Hospice has defined as its mission to affirm life during its final stages by providing holistic compassionate care to patients and their families; by providing access to hospice care for underserved or difficult to serve populations; by wise and efficient use of available resources, and by educating the community in order to provide them with knowledge regarding end-of-life and hospice care around quality of life.
Description
Compassionate Care Hospice is a community based organization committed to providing the highest quality of end of life care to patients, their families and close friends throughout 21 states.
The Compassionate Care team strongly embraces the philosophy that end of life care is so much more than just treating the symptoms of a disease. Treating the spirit and soul are equally important in allowing a terminally ill patient to die in peace and allow those left behind to be supported through their grief.
