Giving life to days.
Hospice usually begins when patients are diagnosed with a life expectancy of six months or less, and the patient chooses not to seek curative treatment. Patients and families benefit most when hospice begins early. The goal is for patients to be as comfortable and pain free as possible so they may spend the last chapter of life with dignity surrounded by family and friends. The family also receives extensive support to help them through this difficult time.
Paying for Services
Hospice and palliative care services may be reimbursed through Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance.
