Procare Hospice provides hospice care designed to provide comfort and support to patients and their families. Hospice is a program designed to meet the particular needs of patients and their loved ones when the patient is diagnosed with a disease when all curative measures are exhausted, and comfort (palliative) care is required. Care is delivered by a team of professionals, including the patient’s attending physician, hospice medical director, registered nurse, hospice aide, social worker, chaplain, and volunteers.
Hospice care can dramatically and positively impact your quality of life. Our goal is to empower you and your family, providing knowledge and information to facilitate decision-making. Our clinical staff members are experts on pain control and symptom management. They are also committed to addressing all your needs on medical, physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.
