What is hospice care?

Hospice care prioritizes comfort, dignity and quality of life for people with advanced illness who no longer want aggressive treatment. Care can be provided wherever a patient calls home, including: 

  • At home 
  • In senior living communities 
  • In inpatient settings, when appropriate 

Our goal is to provide expert care in the setting that best meets each patient’s needs, with support for their family.

What you can expect

  • Pain and symptom relief 
  • Emotional and spiritual support 
  • A dedicated care team 
  • Caregiver support and respite 
  • 24/7 guidance and support 
  • Care tailored to patient goals
