Heartland Hospice - Augusta

Enriching Lives

Every day, Heartland enriches the lives of our patients and the people who love them by combining advanced medical care with a compassionate touch.

At Heartland, we help preserve our patients’ dignity, show them the respect they richly deserve and provide caring compassion by making these Heartland Caring Promises and by working hard to keep them.

Heartland Hospice is dedicated to providing patients with care wherever they consider home. In the house they’ve owned for years. In a nursing home. Or in an assisted living facility. Hospice is caregiving tailored to fit the patient’s and family’s unique situation. Hospice supports the patient and family wherever they are in their health care journey and upholds the patient’s and family’s wishes, goals and values. Patients need not lose hope nor stop comforting treatments to receive Heartland Hospice services. Advance directives and health care decisions do not need to be completed before receiving hospice care. We encourage and can facilitate open discussions that foster the understanding of a loved one’s health care choices, while supporting the patient and family during these challenging circumstances.

Heartland strives to enrich life through the skills, understanding and compassion of our team members. We build a unique partnership with patients and their loved ones, which supports our patients’ and families’ goals and encourages families to be involved in all care decisions. Heartland’s focus is on sustaining quality of life by encouraging personal choices, supporting meaningful experiences and preserving patient dignity.

Accessing our hospice care is simple. We meet patient needs and make it easy for everyone to get the care to which they are entitled. Hospice care is available to patients with an advanced illness. Anyone can call Heartland Hospice to receive information about hospice services. We offer support to patients and families 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Heartland will also contact your physician to ensure that the patient is eligible for the hospice benefit.
