This is an instructional guide for the caregivers of Hospice patients at home. We hope that by giving you this information we can make you more knowledgeable of caring for your loved one. 

Hospice is a interdisciplinary team consisting of: registered nurses, social workers, pastoral care, volunteers and other contracted professionals joined together to help you care for the patient. A registered nurse is on call 24 hours a day for your support when a new problem occurs or methods to alleviate a previously discussed problem are not successful.

Hospice service is available to individuals who meet admission criteria. Referrals to Hospice can be made by family members, friends, clergy and physicians. Most of Hospice costs are covered by Medicare, Medicaid and major health insurance. No one is refused on their ability to pay. We depend on outside contributions and donations to be able to offer this service to everyone. Many recipients of our service give donations in memory of their loved ones. This kind act enables us to continue our very special services to families and patients.
