We Care Hospice serves as a resource to the community for end-of-life care and related issues. We seek to provide care for all appropriate patients and families who need hospice services regardless of their ability to pay.
After receiving a diagnosis for limited life expectancy, patients must make an important choice between aggressive medical treatment and alternative options such as hospice care. Medical treatment focuses on curing the physical illness. Medical treatment often requires intensive care in a clinical setting that can diminish quality of life. Hospice, on the other hand, regards death as a natural process and attempts to manage pain, control symptoms and enhance the quality of life.
We Care Hospice care neither prolongs life nor hastens death, but relieves pain and physical discomfort so that the patient can experience a more peaceful and satisfying state. Hospice care is designed to take place in the home. Many families tell us that they waited too long to take full advantage of all the benefits offered by We Care Hospice care.
