Hospice provides special care, assisting both patient and family members to cope with incurable disease during the final journey of life.
This care is provided as an alternative to hospitalization or continued treatment. The hospice program enables families to remain together during this time of crisis with an emphasis on effective symptom management and pain control. Hospice allows the patient to experience a dignified death in their home. An interdisciplinary team of professionals and volunteers make routine visits to the home, Assisted Living Facility or Nursing Home.
