HospiceCare

Welcome to HospiceCare!

HospiceCare is here to provide comfort and assistance to patients, their families and friends dealing with a terminal or life-limiting illness. Hospice is about living!

We are committed to helping patients and their loved ones live each day as fully and comfortably as possible.

10 Things You Should Know About HospiceCare

Few of us have any experience with the options that are available to us. What do we do first, how will we cope, what can we expect, who do we turn to for help, and what questions should we ask? Here are the answers to our Top 10 most commonly asked questions.

Here are a few comments from recent Family Satisfaction Surveys:

"This was our second experience with hospice. We were very pleased each time. We felt that the dignity of our loved ones was very well respected in each and all times of hospice care extended to our family. We think your people are great and well trained both medically and socially for their jobs during such a difficult time of caring."
"I would never be able to thank the team for the care they gave and the concern they showed to my husband and the entire family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
"Words cannot begin to explain how much our Hospice team meant to us. They treated Daddy as if he were family. They laughed with us and cried with us. Without a doubt, I know that I couldn’t have gotten through this ordeal without their help. A God-send…"
