Description
Circle Home Hospice
The Circle Home Hospice Program is a comprehensive, holistic service for patients whose illness has progressed beyond a need or desire for curative treatments. Hospice provides physical and emotional care that focuses on the patient's comfort as well as support for family caregivers. It focuses on enabling patients to live their remaining months with dignity and comfort, in the place they call home, surrounded by the people and things they love. Hospice helps patients to achieve a peaceful life closure, aligned to their values, wishes and needs. Hospice neither hastens nor delays death.
