Hospice

​

Absolute Hospice combines medical expertise and compassionate care for someone with a life-limiting illness. 

​

Often referred to as "palliative" or comfort care, hospice affirms life and does not hasten the end of life. Studies show that hospice patients live an average of 29 days longer than those not on hospice care.

​

Our professional team and specially trained volunteers focus on the emotional, spiritual and physical needs of patients and their loved ones in a variety of settings. 

​
