What is
hospice care?
Hospice care is kind
and knowledgeable staff members working with you
and your loved ones to help enhance your quality of life. Personalized
care will help improve your comfort. Your care is provided by our
professional team under the direction of your own doctor. Patients
and loved ones need to know that they are not alone during this time. If

Hospice care is
specifically for individuals with a
life-limiting illness whose goals
focus on comfort and care rather than a cure.
Dr. Tom Cooper
Medical Director
Our hospice team offers expert medical care and pain management. Our
approach is to address the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the
terminally ill patient and their family.
Hospice care is available to adults, children, and
infants living with life limiting illness such as Cancer, AIDS,
Alzheimer’s, stroke, ALS, Parkinson’s, severe
birth defects, and
end-stage heart, lung, kidney, or liver disease.
Hospice helps by:
-
Managing
physical symptoms and keeping you comfortable
-
Providing
emotional and/or spiritual support for patients and loved ones
-
Helping
with your daily living activities
-
Providing
education about patient care, the disease process and changes which may
occur in the patient’s condition
-
Providing
bereavement support to patients and loved ones
