Types of support we offer
Advance care planning helps people communicate their wishes for medical treatment. You can do this planning whether you’re healthy or sick. This process will clarify what your family and friends need to know if you become unable to make health care decisions for yourself.
Hospice care is for people with a life-limiting illness, meaning people whose life expectancy is determined to be six months or less if the disease runs its natural course. The hospice team focuses on enhancing the quality of life wherever the person calls home.
Our Home Health team develops an individualized care plan to help you stay independent in your home. Services can include intermittent visits from skilled nursing, home health aides, social services and professional therapies such as physical, occupational and speech therapy. These services will vary depending on your doctor's order.
