Mission Statement
Our mission is to serve all people during the end of life's journey.
Description
The philosophy of hospice is to affirm life by providing support and care to those in the last phase of an incurable illness so that they can live as fully and comfortably as possible. Without volunteers, hospice could not provide the kinds of services which are needed to enhance the quality of the lives of our patients and their families. Each volunteer has a unique set of skills, passions, and life experience that will help provide comfort and support for hospice patients and their families.
Cardinal Hospice serves people in and around the San Antonio area. Our core values are compassion, empathy, honesty, integrity, accountability, respect, teamwork, and service excellence.
Hospice care focuses on caring for people nearing the end of their life. Hospice Care is available to anyone who has a terminal or life-limiting illness, and has been given a prognosis of six months or less. Typically, a family member serves as the primary caregiver and, when appropriate, helps to make decisions for the terminally ill individual. Members of the hospice team make regular visits to assess the patient and provide additional care or other services. The hospice team develops a care plan that meets each patient's individual needs for pain management and symptom control. The team may consist of: a patient's personal Physician, a hospice Physician, Nurses, Home Health Aides, Social Workers, Spiritual Counselors, and hospice-trained Volunteers; Speech, Physical, Occupational, and Massage Therapy are available as needed.
