Hospice

When life expectancy is limited, Fairview Lakes HomeCaring & Hospice staff and volunteers provide comfort care and focus on improving the quality of remaining days. Hospice provides medical, emotional, social and spiritual care, all in the familiar setting of your own home whenever possible. The same kind of care may also be provided in assisted living, group home, nursing home or other inpatient settings.

When is hospice appropriate?
