Hospice Services
Hospice Gives Strength, Support and Quality Care to Patients, Families and Caregivers It’s important for people with a life-ending illness to have the comfort and security of their own home whenever possible. And it’s vital that pain and symptoms are effectively managed so you can share and participate in each day.
Since 1947, we have provided a network of skilled care and encouragement that allows each person to live to the fullest. We work to provide the medical, emotional, psychological and spiritual help you need.
Ensuring Quality of Life The number one priority for Borgess Hospice is to provide end of life options for comfort and support — that’s why we have pain and symptom management experts on hand to help you. We offer palliative care services that assist you and your family in your transition to our hospice program.
In addition, we also provide networking to receive care, as may be needed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including services such as:
-
Home, hospital and extended care facility visits by nurses certified in and experienced with the care of hospice patients
