Hospice Gives Hope

Hospice Life Care

Hospice Life Care is a not-for-profit community hospice that offers comprehensive and compassionate care to those in the final stages of life. Our primary goal is to provide patients and their families with the care and support they need while ensuring that their days are as comfortable and peaceful as possible.

Our Philosophy

Hospice Life Care recognizes that the dying process is a natural part of living and focuses on enhancing the quality of remaining life when cure is no longer available or desired. Hospice Life Care provides support 24 hours a day, seven days a week, addressing concerns, problems and emergencies. We take a holistic approach to pain and symptom management, addressing patients’ social, spiritual, and emotional needs, and always respecting their wishes.

Why Hospice?

Hospice Gives Hope

Hope for comfort when a cure is no longer feasible, hope that a patient’s final days are lived out in a secure, familiar setting in the manner in which they choose, and hope that the patient and family will be supported and nurtured.

Every day is a gift and we value quality of life for every patient, every day.
