Description
It is the belief of hospice that while death is a natural occurance, dying itself cn be a major life crisis. The hospice team believes in the innate value of human life, in the potential for self-growth during and after times of crisis, and in the right of each human being to freedom of choice.
The primary goal of hospice is to promote comfort care and quailty of life after aggressive measures for cure have failed. Specifically, this means maintaining patients to be alert, comfortable and pain free in the place of their choice, in the manner they wish, and to provide the support needed to live and die in their own way with dignity maintained.
