Highlights
“Where our Doctors Still Make House Calls”
When you have a life-limiting illness, LifeCare Hospice offers compassionate, expert care to help you to live each day to the fullest. We strive to enhance the quality of the lives of the patients and families we serve, and emphasize patient choice and dignity.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
It is important to realize that Hospice is a special kind of care designed to provide sensitivity and support for people in the final phase of a terminal illness. Hospice care seeks to enable patients to carry on an alert, pain-free life and to manage other symptoms so that their last days may be spent with dignity and quality at home or in a home setting.
The principles of our Care :
- We believe Hospice affirms life and health and the dignity of persons in situations of terminal illness.
- We believe it possible that the period of terminal illness can be one of achievement, reconciliation, fulfillment of the dying patient and family.
- We believe that Hospice care should be available to any person regardless of race, color, creed, handicap, age, sex, religion, or economic status.
- We believe that when cure is no longer an appropriate goal, palliative care and support become the appropriate goal.
- We believe that the Hospice program of care can provide support and aid in the alleviation of human suffering.
- We believe that the terminally ill patient should be maintained as pain-free as possible, and as alert in his home environment as is medically possible.
Our Mission
To provide professional, compassionate end of life care along with bereavement and outreach services to our patients, their families and the communities we serve.
