Hospice is Not Just for the Patient
Hospice care is provided by a full team of professionals and volunteers. This professional team works together to support individuals and their families during their last months of life.
The team works closely with the patient, their family, and the patient’s personal physician to develop an individualized plan of care that helps the patient meet their goals for living the last few months of their life in the best way possible.
Hospice Is For Families As Well As Patients.
A vital component of hospice care is the support and education given to the families and caregivers who are caring for the person who is living with the terminal illness. The staff work closely with all members of the patient’s circle, helping them understand what is happening, what they can expect moving forward, and empowering them to provide the care when the team is not present.

Grief Support for Surviving Members
The bereavement staff of the hospice team support the family members after the death of their loved one for at least 13 months.

Through mailings, phone calls, and optional support groups and individual meetings, those who are grieving can access support along this road of transition.
