When medical science can no longer add more days to a patient’s life, hospice care can add more life to each remaining moment. At Saint Luke's Home Care & Hospice, we work with patients, their families, and physicians to make the end of life a time of comfort, enrichment, and love.
Our hospice nurses help the patient control and direct their end-of-life care. They provide peace of mind, dignity, and comfort on the patient's terms—often in their own home. The hospice team provides medical, emotional, and spiritual support to not only the patient, but also the patient's family. Our multidisciplinary hospice team uses the latest methods of pain and symptom control to enable the patient to live as fully and comfortably as possible
Our programs include:
Bereavement services
We offer support to family members of the deceased for 18 months or longer after death to help them cope with their pain and loss.
Veteran-to-Veteran Recognition
We honor patients who have served our country by providing veteran volunteers from the same military branch who visit and present them with appreciation plaques.

This specialized therapy helps hospice patients relax and reduce their pain. It also helps patients with Alzheimer's or dementia express themselves when they can no longer speak.
