Hospice

At some time in our lives, we all will face the terminal illness of a family member or dear friend. Having people to turn to for help in making each day, even the last one, worth living is invaluable. That’s what Evergreen Hospice is all about.

Evergreen Hospice provides a full range of services to help families through the difficult time associated with the loss of a loved one. These services are available along the complex journey; from the moment a life limiting prognosis is given, through the pain of letting go and saying goodbye, and on to the adjustment to a changed life.

Working together with you and your physician, the hospice team develops a care plan to meet each patient's individual needs. The care plan is adjusted to meet the changing nature of the patient's illness and the needs of family members and other primary caregivers. Our hospice nurses are specially trained in palliative care to relieve pain, and they will make arrangements for any medical equipment or medications.

Members of the hospice care team have one goal - to bring comfort to those facing a life-limiting illness. They have special expertise in management of physical, emotional and spiritual needs.
