Hospice Care
Comfort and Care in the Last Phase of Life
Hospice care is designed for individuals with a serious illness who are nearing the end of life, as well as their families. The focus is on comfort, dignity, and quality of life—helping patients live as fully and comfortably as possible in familiar surroundings.
Hospice affirms life and recognizes dying as a natural part of life. Our care focuses on managing pain and symptoms while providing emotional and spiritual support during this important time.
A Team Approach to Care
Hospice care is provided by a dedicated team of professionals, trained volunteers, and specialists. Together, they support both patients and families before and after death.
Our team provides care wherever the patient calls home, including:
- Private residences
- A family member or friend’s home
- Nursing facilities
- Assisted living communities
- Adult foster care homes
We also offer care at the Woodland Hospice House in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. This peaceful, eight-suite residence is designed to provide privacy, comfort, and personalized care that honors each patient’s wishes.
Admission Information
Hospice care is appropriate for patients with life-limiting conditions who are no longer pursuing curative treatment. We encourage patients and families to reach out to learn if hospice is the right choice.
If requested, our licensed staff can visit you at home to explain services and review eligibility. If hospice care is chosen, we will work with your physician to coordinate and approve your care.
