Hospice

Hospice is short-term assistance for terminally ill patients and families that is usually conducted at home by a licensed nurse, nurse aides, volunteers, social workers and/or clergy members. This assistance allows the terminally ill to remain in their own home and remain as comfortable as possible.

Hospice also works to educate the family on the terminally ill process. Bereavement Care starts upon admission and continues for family members after the passing of their loved one.
