What is Hospice?
We believe that hospice is not a place but a philosophy of care focused on comfort. Hospice is the most appropriate care option when an individual has decided to discontinue medical treatment to focus on comfort and quality of life. Hospice encompasses the needs of the individual's family and caregivers as well. Our goal is that as a team, the individual, family, and caregivers are able to fully enjoy meaningful time together. Providing care at the place the individual calls home is the basic philosophy of hospice. We strive to meet our patients where they are, whether that is at home, in a family home, in a nursing home, in an assisted living, or in a residential care facility.

History of Hospice
Hospice began in the United States in 1963. First offered by volunteers and teams of nurses, hospice is now considered to be the model for quality, compassionate care for those facing a serious or life-limiting illness or injury. At the center of hospice and palliative care is the belief that each of us has the right to live well in this time of transition, pain-free and with dignity. Hospice care involves a team-oriented approach to expert medical care, pain management, emotional, and spiritual support expressly tailored to the individual and families’ needs and wishes.
