“YOU MATTER TO THE LAST MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE……. AND WE WILL DO ALL WE CAN, NOT ONLY TO HELP YOU DIE PEACEFULLY, BUT TO LIVE UNTIL YOU DIE.”

Dame Cicely Saunders, founder of hospice

Hospice is a special way of caring for people who are in the final stages of life.

The goal of hospice is to provide emotional, spiritual, and physical support to the person who is dying and to their families.

Hospice care can be provided in your apartment, home, or at a care facility.

Guardian Angels † Elim Hospice provides the support, education, and expertise to help family and friends care for you. We strive to improve your quality of life by managing pain and other symptoms and providing services to support your needs. Bereavement support to family and loved ones is also provided by hospice.

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT HOSPICE

When is the right time to consider hospice care?
Whenever there is a life-limiting illness and cure is not possible and/or when the focus is on comfort instead of cure. Your physician orders hospice care.

Is hospice limited to only people with cancer? No. Hospice care is for anyone with a life-limiting illness such as advanced heart disease, lung disease, end-stage dementia, and other chronic diseases.

You may choose to have hospice in a nursing home. Guardian Angels † Elim Hospice works closely with area facilities to provide coordination of care when the hospice team visits you at a nursing home.
