Hospice Care
Your Compassionate Guide℠ for End-of-Life Hospice Care
When is it time?
Hospice care is appropriate for individuals with a prognosis of six months or less to live, as determined by their doctor (12 months or less for others). Many families share that they wish they had reached out sooner. Hospice services focus on improving comfort, maintaining mobility, and supporting meaningful social activities, helping patients remain engaged and in control of their lives for as long as possible.
If you or your loved one is not yet ready for hospice care, we also offer Palliative Care, which can be provided alongside curative treatments. Our Palliative Care program, available to Medicare beneficiaries, works closely with you and your physician to manage symptoms and improve the quality of life for those with serious illness.
