Care that wraps around your whole family

Your hospice team comes to the house: nurses for pain and symptoms, aides for bathing and dressing, plus social workers, chaplains, and volunteers, all working from one plan of care. Between visits, a nurse answers the on-call line at any hour.

Palliative care and hospice both focus on comfort, but they start at different points in an illness. We explain the difference in plain language, coordinate with your physician, and help you decide when hospice is the right next step. Nobody is signed up on a first conversation.

Experienced registered nurses provide medical care in the comfort of your home: pain management, symptom control, wound care, and medication management. Our nurses are specially trained in hospice and palliative care, so they know what this stage of an illness asks for.

A hospice nurse answers our line at any hour, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Most calls are settled on the phone — a medication question, a change in breathing, a worry you cannot name. When they are not, a nurse can come to the home.

Our medical team specializes in controlling pain and managing symptoms like nausea, shortness of breath, anxiety, and fatigue. Using a combination of medications, positioning techniques, and complementary therapies, we work to keep your loved one comfortable enough that the day belongs to them rather than to their symptoms.

Our chaplains and counselors offer steady companionship through the emotional weight of end-of-life — room for the hard questions about meaning, and for the quiet moments in between. Whatever brings your loved one comfort, we follow their lead.

Our trained home health aides help with the activities of daily living: bathing, dressing, grooming, and light housekeeping, always with dignity and respect. Alongside the practical help they bring steady company, and families come to count on their visits.

Medicare covers up to five days of inpatient respite so the person doing the caring can sleep. We arrange the stay, the plan of care continues unchanged, and your loved one comes home afterward. Aide visits and volunteers cover the shorter breaks.

Licensed social workers connect families with community resources, assist with advance directives and care planning, provide emotional counseling, and help navigate insurance and financial questions. They advocate for the patient and the family at every stage of care.

Grief doesn't end with loss. We provide bereavement support for families: one-on-one counseling, support groups, memorial services, and community grief resources. Our bereavement services are also available to anyone in the community who has experienced a loss.
