Admiral Hospice Care, Inc.

Admiral Hospice Care, Inc. provides an individualized program of

physical, emotional, spiritual, and practical care for people in the

last phases of a life-limiting illness, with an emphasis on control of

pain and other symptoms. The program is reflective of a spirit and idea

of caring that emphasizes comfort and dignity for the dying, making it

possible for them to remain independent for as long as possible, in

familiar surroundings. Hospice care is centered on both the patient and

family/caregiver. Hospice personnel respect and respond to the unique

differences in family/caregiver, lifestyle, values, and wishes.

Utilizing an interdisciplinary group approach of physicians, nurses,

social workers, therapists, homemakers, hospice aides, volunteers,

spiritual counselors, bereavement counselors, and others, Admiral

Hospice Care, Inc. provides palliative care in the home, short-term

inpatient services, mobilization and coordination of ancillary services,

and bereavement support. Services will be equitably distributed to a

medically and financially diversified group of patients in a

cost-effective manner which ensures adherence to the goals of Admiral

Hospice Care, Inc. and the maintenance of the financial solvency of the

organization.

Hospice affirms life.

Hospice exists to provide support and care for persons in the last

phases of a life-limiting illness so that they may live as fully and

comfortably as possible.

Hospice exists in the belief that through appropriate care and the

promotion of a caring community, patients and family/caregivers will be

free to attain a degree of mental preparation for death that is

satisfying to them.
