What is Hospice Care?
Hospice care is truly an end-of-life care philosophy that primarily focuses on the patient’s quality of life once all other curative measures have been exhausted.*
The term hospice originates from the Latin word ‘hospis,’ or shelter. Our trusted clinic is billed as a preferred regional hospice resource in the Newtown area with a team that shelters patients and their families as they transition from one phase of life to another. We strive to make the transition easy, comforting, and seamless. Our approach to hospice care is specific to the patients’ needs, whether in the privacy of their own home or a skilled nursing facility, or an assisted living facility. Regardless of where home may be, we are the compassionate, professional hospice care team for you.
