What is Hospice Care?
ospice is a comprehensive program of supportive care for persons with a life
limiting illness. Hopsice uses a team approach that includes health care
workers, social workers, volunteers, pastoral services and bereavement
counselors. Hospice workers are committed to the dignity and comfort of the
patient. Beyond the services provided by medical staff to make and keep a
patient comfortable, we include emotional and spiritual support to him or her
and also to the patient's family.
Hospice is dedicated to both the patient and the family. At Harmony Hospice, we
believe that compassion and proper communication are essential ingredients to
helping the family and patient cope.
