Hospice & Palliative Care

Palliative care is specialized medical care for people living with serious illnesses such as cancer, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and heart failure. The goal is to provide quality of life while receiving services to manage symptoms as well as treatment to cure the illness.

Hospice care is focused on providing comfort and quality of life to those approaching the end of life. Hospice is engaged when the illness is not responding to treatment and efforts to cure the illness are stopped –typically when the physician believes there are six (6) months or less. It is important to obtain hospice services early to take full advantage of the many services and assistance it offers. It can help provide months of meaningful care.

Many people wish to be surrounded by a place of comfort and familiarity when battling a disease or when approaching the end of life.
