FAQ:
Is hospice care only for cancer patients? No. Cancer is only one disease that can limit life. An individual with any type of disease, acute or chronic may be eligible for hospice services. We serve individuals with lung, heart, liver, kidney, AIDS, Alzheimer’s, Dementia, stroke, and other diseases; many of which are considered chronic or have been debilitating over a long period of time.
What kind of services do you provide?
