Our goal is to help our patients achieve the best quality of life possible. We understand that one solution does not fit every situation so we take the time to listen and learn about each patient’s needs and preferences. This enables us to tailor a care program that maximizes the patient’s independence and dignity.

Hospice Care
Goals:
To provide a program of care that acknowledges death as a normal event
To provide direct patient care in the residence (wherever the patient resides - the home, nursing facility, etc.), and family/caregiver support in a coordinated manner with an interdisciplinary program using existing resources and avoiding duplication of services
To offer short-term inpatient care when the patient’s pain and/or symptoms must be closely monitored in order to be controlled, or when the family/caregiver needs a rest from the tedium and stress involved in caring for the patient
To maintain a commitment to realistic, cost effective management, utilizing all available mechanisms for payment, to retain management responsibility for the patient’s care in the utilization of direct and indirect services
To make hospice and the hospice philosophy an accepted part of the health care system and to increase awareness concerning the needs of the dying
To provide a continuum of care which recognizes and responds to the physical, social, spiritual, emotional and other needs of the patient and their family/caregiver
