Bristol Hospice

Description

Bristol Hospice provides hospice services to meet the physical, psycho-social, and spiritual needs of
individuals at the end of life. We focus on an individualized plan of care which may include, as
appropriate, the following services: nursing, physicians, hospice aides, spiritual support, therapy,
dietary, counseling, volunteers, durable medical equipment, supplies, bereavement services and
medications related to the terminal illness.

Volunteers are an important part of the hospice model. Volunteers provide special compassionate
presence and support to our patients and family in ways that only a volunteer can. When a volunteer
visits a patient, they are visiting the patient because they want to be there. It's not a job or an
obligation. That is a powerful action for our patients and families!
