AseraCare hospice

Mission Statement

The Promise of Dignity ~ Hospice is about living. Hospice neither hastens nor postpones death, but affirms life, emphasizing dignity and comfort while enhancing quality of life for the person coping with a life limiting illness.

Hospice is not just a place. It is a medical and philosophical approach to care. The hospice team provides medical, emotional, and spiritual support to individuals with terminal illnesses and their families. Hospice care may be delivered in the person's home or in a hospital, nursing home, assisted living center, or hospice facility. Physicians, nurses, medical social workers, pharmacists, and other hospice care staff use the latest practices and technologies to manage pain and symptoms, and to create the best quality of life during the last months of life.
