Hospice Care
Embracing Comfort & Compassionate Care
We provide comforting medical care and comprehensive support, walking alongside patients and families to ensure peace and dignity throughout their journey.
What is Hospice?
Hospice care is dedicated to helping individuals with life-limiting illnesses find comfort, dignity, and support. Dignity Care Partners brings hospice care to the patient’s home.
Hospice offers an alternative to curative treatments, focusing instead on the patient’s physical comfort and surrounding them with compassionate care. The goal of hospice care is to provide symptom management, pain relief, emotional support, and spiritual care for patients and their loved ones.
Hospice can be appropriate when a physician determines that life expectancy is six months or less if the illness follows its usual course. Families often find that hospice helps them cherish more meaningful time together while receiving expert guidance and 24/7 support.
