Hospice is an appropriate course of care for terminally ill patients in the last six months of their lives, at a time when curative treatments are no longer an option.

Hospice caregivers help patients manage their illness and remain as comfortable as possible in their environment. The goal of hospice is symptom management rather than treatment or recovery. Hospice care complements the guidance of a patient’s physician.

Hospice helps ease the burden of families caring for patients during this time.

When is someone ready for Hospice care?

• At the recommendation of their physician
• When diagnosed with a life-limiting illness and when symptoms are no longer responding to a curative treatment
• If you feel that your loved one may qualify for hospice services, please call one of our offices to discuss hospice eligibility and specific health conditions.
