Mission Statement

The mission of Kaiser Martinez Hospice is to provide timely, high quality, compassionate medical care for patients facing life-limiting illness and their families involving multidisciplinary team oriented approach focused on emotional and spiritual support tailored to the needs and wishes of the patient and their loved ones.

Description

Hospice is a home-based care program for people in the final phase of terminal illness. It’s focused on comfort and quality of life, rather than cure. Instead, your hospice health care team provides comprehensive comfort care that may make it possible for you to live the rest of your life in your home. "Home" can include a private residence or care facility.

The Hospice philosophy is to provide emotional, social, and spiritual needs , for you and your loved ones; as well as to manage your medical symptoms. We help patients live as comfortably as possible, so they can live each day as fully as possible. We call this "quality of life." Care is focused on honoring patients’ wishes and ensuring their personal dignity.
