HOSPICE CARE SERVICES
At St. Marie’s Hospice, we offer a wide variety of both palliative and other hospice care services. Our care begins with a focus on relieving symptoms of pain or distress, providing comfort while working to ensure the highest quality of life and independence possible.
Our staff works to coordinate different services to provide for the comfort and personal fulfillment of our patients. Our medical staff of doctors, registered nurses, health aides, and other healthcare professionals focus on administering a personalized care plan that is tailored to each person—using medicine and physical therapies to alleviate discomfort. Our patients are also supported by a network of dedicated, vetted volunteers. These volunteers focus on providing companionship, and emotional and spiritual services as part of a personalized care plan.
