Hospice care is for the entire family, not just the hospice patient. Our team specializes in care that supports the caregivers during the dying process and after the passing of their loved one! Our volunteers provide emotional support, along with practical support such as running errands, light housework and sitting with patient so caregiver can get a much needed break. This is a flexible program, allowing you to give as little or as much as you want. If you would more information on this wonderful opportunity call Grace today!

Description
Hospice is a philosophy of caring for patients whose medical conditions are not responding to treatment or for those patients who choose not to seek aggressive medical care at the end stage of life. It is a program for patients who are considered terminal and are expected to live six months or less if the disease follows its natural course, although many patients outlive this time frame. The hospice philosophy focuses on comfort care not curative care. The goal of hospice care is for the patient to remain as comfortable and pain-free as possible in their own home or the home of a loved one through the end of life. Hospice care can also be provided in a long-term care facility or an assisted living facility
