Hospice Care is Comfort Care

Hospice provides better quality end-of-life care

Hospice is a difficult word for many, but as families learn more, they come to realize the true benefits of this form of care. In fact, studies have shown people live longer, and with better quality of life, when they start hospice care sooner.

However, not all hospice programs are the same. We encourage you to learn more about the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) hospice program, which is provided in the comfort of the patient’s home, surrounded by their loved ones, or in a care facility if needed.

We suggest that you learn more about our home health care services and make a plan to age at home before you have a health emergency.
