Hospice; Dignity. Respect. Comfort.

Hospice; Dignity. Respect. Comfort.

Hospice is a scary word to most people, a word that some try to avoid when caring for their loved one.

Hospice care was never intended to be a scary thing; in fact, it is something that should be looked at in a different light. Have you ever thought that hospice may be the opposite? Hospice provides patients with dignity, respect and comfort; giving the patient the opportunity to live their life to the fullest.

How does hospice work: When someone chooses to come on our services, our entire team-- comprised of physicians, registered nurses, LVNs, aides, social workers, chaplains, bereavement coordinator and volunteers work with the patient and family to establish a personalized plan tailored to the patient’s needs and wishes. Hospice services are provided wherever the patient resides. It could be in the home, in a hospital, nursing home or assisted living. Our team becomes your team and our physicians make house calls!

Hospice is not about giving up. It is about giving yourself the ability to live in your moments—with loved ones, family and friends. Hospice of the Big Country provides compassionate care and comfort for both the patient and family through medical, emotional and spiritual support.
