Comfort & Quality of Life

Hospice care focuses on medical and personal comfort for people in the last months or days of life.

We call hospice "comfort care" because our doctors and nurses help patients with physical symptoms like pain, nausea or breathing difficulty.

Nursing aides help with practical needs like eating, bathing and making sure patients can rest or move around safely. Trained volunteers run errands or visit patients to give families a break.

Hospice counselors, including social workers and chaplains, help patients and their loved ones find emotional and spiritual comfort.

Our comprehensive hospice care includes bereavement care for family members of hospice patients for over a year after a patient's death. This support helps families cope with grief and adjust to new lives after loss.

In short, the entire hospice team focuses on providing comfort so patients and families can live as fully as possible.
