Changing stages in life can make you feel anxious and fearful. When your goal

of medical treatment changes from curative to comfort, we are here for you.

Hospice helps you find balance with comfort and pain management. Using your

hospice benefit early can help you raise your quality of life and help with closure

for you and your loved ones. We provide individualized care to your loved ones

and help you with the emotions of this change in your life.

Compassion. Holding your hand-just because. A hug because we care. Our team specializes in caring for you when you need it.

Comfort. A little extra help when you need it. Doing more for you. Helping you manage your pain. Easing your discomforts. A sense of security for your loved ones.

Dignity. You matter to us. Your decisions matter. We listen. We care.

Cost. Hospice is a benefit under Medicare and Medicaid that is usually no cost to you. Most private insurance plans have a hospice benefit as well. You will never be turned away if you are not able to pay.

Emotionally. We offer support to you and your loved ones through hope, encouragement, compassion and understanding.

Spiritually. We have a chaplain available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There is a chapel on site at The Groves. We are a resource for you, your caregivers and family.

Physically. We care for you wherever you call home.

Services. We admit 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We provide continuous care when medically necessary. Respite care is available for up to five days when a caregiver needs some support.
