mvi HospiceCare

mvi HospiceCare provides comfort care for individuals faced with terminal illness. Hospice recognizes dying as a natural part of the living process and focuses on maintaining the quality of remaining life. Hospice Care offers support to patients and families during illness and beyond.

mvi HospiceCare focuses on the unique needs of the patients and their families during the final stages of illness and during the bereavement period.

Our Goal:

• Pain control and symptom management
• Skilled nursing care by our staff of caring professionals
• Spiritual support for patients and loved ones
• Non-medical support and assistance by volunteers

mvi HospiceCare always welcomes volunteers of all ages and skills to our Volunteer Program. We offer a comprehensive training program. Our trained volunteers provide patients with kindness, compassion, and caring. They support patients and families by providing periods of relief for caregivers or help with errands and other non-medical activities.

Volunteers often work with our Medical Director, Nurses, Home Health Aides and Homemakers, Social Worker, and Clergy during the Interdisciplinary Approach that Hospice maintains. Volunteers are vital in Hospice and the Hospice philosophy of care.
