Hospice - End of Life Care in Oregon
Hospice—or end of life care—is a life-affirming philosophy of care and support system to help the dying and their loved ones find peace and maintain dignity in the final stages of life. The focus of hospice is on “palliative care”, not curing diseases. “Palliative care” is treatment that relieves discomfort and enhances quality of life.
At Signature, we strongly believe providing care at the end-of-life is a sacred and honored opportunity. Our holistic care team of health-care professionals involves a team-oriented approach to expert medical care, pain management, and emotional and spiritual support tailored to the patient’s needs and wishes. Hospice services are also extended to the patient’s loved ones as well.
While most hospice end of life care is provided in a patient's home, hospice care can also be provided in hospitals, skilled nursing and other long-term care facilities. Home hospice services are available to patients of any age, religion, race, or illness.
So if you're a physician, discharge planner, caregiver or family member, please contact us for the gratifying gift of home hospice.
