Hospice Care
Choosing hospice does not mean giving up hope. Hospice is specialized care that offers help and support to patients and families when cure is no longer possible. It is a change of focus to comfort, control of symptoms and quality of life and is designed to help during the last months of life. Many people say that they wish they had learned earlier that hospice is NOT a crisis service for the last few days of life so that their family could have taken full advantage of the services.
We serve patients in their homes, assisted living, nursing facilities, hospitals and Centra Bedford Hospice House. It may not be easy to know when the time is right to consider hospice. Ask us so we can help you with eligibility and answer your questions.
