About Margaret Mary Health Hospice
Support and Comfort When You Need it Most
Hospice care is designed for people who are nearing the end of life. Unlike other medical care, the focus of hospice isn't to cure patients, but instead control their pain, make them comfortable and ensure the highest quality of life for whatever time remains.
Additionally, hospice can improve the family/caregiver's lives by having a team of experts they can depend on, seek advice and guidance from and receive much needed teaching and support during this difficult time.
Those who are eligible include anyone with a disease that can't be cured and whose life expectancy can be expressed in months, weeks or days. We have expertise in caring for individuals with cancer, lung disease, heart disease, liver problems, AIDS, neurological disorders, kidney issues, diabetes, stroke and Alzheimer's.
Hospice care can be provided in homes, hospitals, nursing homes or assisted-living facilities. In most cases, physicians refer patients to hospice, however a physician referral is not necessary.
