Thank you for taking a moment to get to know us!

Our sole purpose is to tenderly embrace those facing the final moments of life, along with their loved ones, with expert medical care, emotional support and spiritual care, as desired. We provide care at home, in nursing homes, hospitals, or our inpatient hospice centers.

This service offers compassionate and medically capable care to all regardless of age, sex, race, creed, marital status, sexual preference, color, national origin, religion, citizenship status, veteran status, handicap, disability or ability to pay.

Preparing a patient for hospice care is a process. It begins with an honest discussion of the disease and its outcomes. Bringing death out into the open and making sickness and loss, a time of sharing and remembrance, is difficult. And while the Hospice experience may not be for everyone, those who choose hospice find the caring for a loved one, and the richness of sharing memories of youth, a rewarding experience never to be forgotten. Hospice is not an end to treatment. It's a shift from cure to care.

Who Provides Hospice Services?

The patient's physician participates in the establishment of the plan of care and works with the Sacred Journey Hospice team in caring for the patient. The physician continues to provide medical direction and orders. The Sacred Journey Hospice Medical Director or Hospice physician is available as a consultant on matters of specialized pain and symptom control and provides care if the patient or their physician requests. Choosing hospice care does not affect the individual relationship between patients and their attending physicians.
