Hospice Houses & Home Hospice
Locate a Hospice:
A hospice provides personalized patient care that neither hastens, nor postpones life. Instead, hospices create an atmosphere in which the patient and his/her family can prepare for death in a comfortable setting. Understanding the variety of physical, spiritual, emotional and social needs of both the patient and the family, a hospice staff ensures that each person receives the practical support needed, based on the specific requirements of each individual and family.
Patients can choose from two hospice options — home hospice or a hospice house. With home hospice the patient is cared for in their own home; the hospice nurse will visit and care for the patient as required. Depending on the care needed to keep the patient comfortable, a scheduled time and visit length will be established.
Patients who choose a hospice house will be cared for at a medical facility designed specifically for hospice care. Patients rooms will look more like a nice hotel room, rather than a hospital room. Medical equipment will be available, but cleverly hidden, so as not to be intrusive. Patients will receive personalized care based on their needs.
