Celebrating Lives Well-lived Choosing Center for Hospice Care means: • Specialized care on your terms – YOU are in control • Peace of mind for you and your loved ones • A continuum of care for anybody living with a serious advanced illness • Access to inpatient units that provide short-term, 24-hour medical care in a home-like setting when a patient’s symptoms can’t be managed at home
Honoring legacies with expert care and quality of life Steve entertained others with his guitar for decades. But when he became a patient at Center for Hospice Care, he discovered something even deeper than clinical care – a support system that saw his passions and honored his story. We value the whole person, past, present and everything they still have to give. Hospice care • Palliative care • Inpatient care Bereavement programs
