Philosophy

Hospice affirms life.

Hospice is the concept and practice of compassionate healthcare for patients and families dealing with the final stages of a life limiting illness. When a cure is no longer a viable option, much can still be done. Hospice neither prolongs life nor hastens death. Instead, Hospice focuses on quality of life by:

bulletkeeping the patient comfortable in his/her own home or place of residence
bullethelping the patient and family gain a sense of control and competence
bulletpromoting the patient's and family's dignity, autonomy and right to privacy
bulletenhancing the time the patient and family share
