Hospice
Hospice care is a special kind of care that focuses on the quality of life for people experiencing an advanced life limiting illness. Compassionate holistic care of the patient and family are provided to ensure the patient may live as fully and comfortably as possible. The hospice philosophy treats the person and the symptoms of the disease, rather than treating the disease itself.We know there is no roadmap for how to feel, plan and cope with what you are experiencing at this moment, but you are not alone.
