Mission Statement
At the center of hospice is the belief that each of us has the right to die pain free, with dignity, and that our families will receive the necessary support to allow us to do so. Hospice care can take place in a variety of settings. Our compassionate care provides the physical, emotional and spiritual resources needed to make the most of every moment, with the extraordinary service you expect. We understand your needs and goals, and support both in each step of your journey.
Description
The benefit of hospice care is greatest when services are provided early enough within your loved one’s eligibility to:
* Maintain independence and take control of the illness or disease
* Complete important tasks
* Organize personal affairs
* Complete spiritual services
* Say goodbye to loved ones
