Hospice is not just a place - it's a model of comfort and compassion-based care and support for patients and their families who are experiencing advanced illnesses.
- Hospice neither hastens or prolongs death. It focuses on helping patients live the remainder of their life to the fullest extent possible.
- Hospice is living with quality end-of-life care. Patients need not be homebound or confined to bed.
- Hospice is for patients with many types of illnesses. While about half of our patients have some form of cancer, a large segment of our patients have cardiac and respiratory disease, renal disease, neurological illnesses such as Alzheimer disease, Lou Gehrig's disease, AIDS, cirrhosis, and others.
- Hospice never means the patient or family are giving up hope. There is much that can be done during this precious time when support and care are needed most.
