What is Hospice Care?
Hospice care focuses on comfort when cure is no longer the goal. It helps manage pain while supporting emotional and spiritual needs. Unlike regular medical care, hospice care makes someone’s final days peaceful, usually in their own home. Our caregivers team up with medical hospice staff to provide daily care that adds comfort and dignity.
