Hospice is specialized comfort care and support for those facing life limiting illnesses or are no longer able to respond to cure-oriented treatment. Hospice is palliative care focused on alleviating pain, anxiety and discomfort. Our patients are cared for by a highly skilled and compassionate team of doctors, nurses, social workers, counselors, nursing assistants, and more. Hospice services are covered by Medicare, Medicaid and most private insurances.
