Add more life to your days
Hospice provides a coordinated program of palliative care to terminally ill patients, and supportive services to patients, their families and significant others, in both home and facility settings, through a physician-directed plan of care. Specialized services include medical, nursing, home health aide, social services, spiritual care, bereavement services, volunteer services, and other appropriate counseling services.
The hospice philosophy of care provides support for persons in the last phases of incurable illness so that they may live as fully and comfortably as possible. Hospice care seeks to enable patients to lead an alert, pain-free life and to manage symptoms so that their last days may be spent at home or in a home-like setting.
At Essential Hospice, our caregivers are available seven days a week and our medical team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Testimonials
“A big thanks and hugs from our hearts for you and your great family. You made all of our lives easier her last couple of months. She passed with peace because she was taken care of with such loving and caring ways. From always answering my calls with such caring ways to the nurses, preacher, social worker, and Regina. Regina was great with her every day and cared for her as if she was her mom.”
