WHY HOSPICE
When someone is dealing with a life-limiting condition, they may need to make decisions regarding the approach that they feel works best for them.
The underlying philosophy of hospice care is the deep-seated belief that anyone dealing with a terminal illness should be made as comfortable and peaceful as possible, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
In practical application this includes providing care and services that focus on alleviating pain and symptoms, fostering a state of calmness and harmony, and encouraging an appreciation of family, friends, and life experiences.
