Bringing light to the journey.
Hospice may not be your first choice, but we are here for you when it’s the right choice.
Deciding when to begin hospice can be a daunting task. It is often a difficult decision to make because it means accepting that there is limited life expectancy. Due to this, many patients and family members may feel that discussing hospice is like admitting defeat or giving up hope for a cure, and may be reluctant to explore hospice services. Although end-of-life care may be difficult to discuss, it is best for patients and their family members to fully understand their care options. Having a discussion early on allows the patient the opportunity to share their wishes, priorities, and goals. When you learn more about hospice care early on, it can greatly reduce stress when the time for hospice is needed.
We are here for you.
Illuminate Hospice brings compassionate care and support to those diagnosed with life-limiting illnesses. The hospice team is specially trained to provide patients and families with support and services through and beyond the end of life. With the emphasis on comfort, families can spend time simply being together. Hospice is not a place; it is care that can be provided where and when needed. Care is available in private homes, nursing facilities, or assisted living residences.
