Hospice Services

When curative treatments are no longer helpful and recovery is not possible, Amberwell Health at Home will provide comfort care wherever the patient’s home may be. Under the direction of the patient’s physician, the hospice team will do everything possible to alleviate pain and discomfort. The focus of care is to enable the patient to live every day as well as possible.

The hospice team includes the patient, caregivers, physician, nurses, nurse aides, a social worker, a chaplain, and trained hospice volunteers. We all work together to alleviate whatever form of suffering the patient is experiencing: physical, emotional, or spiritual. It is a great comfort for our patients and their families that nurses are available locally to respond quickly to any concern that arises at any time of the night or day. Hospice philosophy has been summarized this way by Dame Cicely Saunders, founder of the modern hospice movement: “You matter to the last moment of your life, and we will do all we can, not only to help you die peacefully, but to live until you die.”
