Services: Hospice Care
Hospice is not a place, it is a concept of care for those who have a life limiting illness.

This type of attention is called palliative care and involves the aggressive treatment of physical and emotional pain and symptoms. If focuses on enhancing a patient's comfort and improving that person's quality of life.
Hospice affirms life and neither hastens nor postpones the end of life.
