Description
Hospice affirms life and recognizes death as a normal life process. Hospice neither hastens nor postpones death. Hospice seeks to find meaning in every phase of life --- life that can best be realized in the home. Hospice services are designed to comfort the patient, not treat the disease. After a death, our hospice team also provides an extensive period of bereavement support for the family and caregivers that promotes positive expressions of grief and grief recovery for the family.
