If you are caring for a parent or loved one who is terminally ill you want to help him or her live their final days as comfortably as possible. Hospice cares for the entire family, providing support not only to your loved one but to family members as well. A team of health professionals and volunteers provide medical, emotional and spiritual support so that your loved one may live his or her remaining days to their fullest.

Your doctor generally requests hospice services when life expectancy is 6 months or less. Hospice is offered to individuals with all types of illnesses or conditions, including Alzheimer's or other dementias, cancer, congestive heart failure, lung disease or a stroke.

Hospice care can be provided in your loved one's home or in a skilled nursing or assisted living facility. If your loved one is unable to receive hospice services at home, Serenity House, our hospice residential facility may be an option.
