Hospice
Overview
Hospice care is a unique form of homecare that emphasizes physical and emotional comfort and support services for both family and patient. Choosing hospice does not mean giving up but rather shifting toward a focus of aggressive palliation or comfort care. We believe it is all about how you live, honoring choices and wishes. Hospice offers many benefits and advantages. Hospice is an option you may choose if you wish to focus more on being comfortable and less on active treatment therapies.
