Whether hospice care is needed in your home or apartment, an assisted living facility or nursing home, CompCare Hospice, Inc. is here to care. We strive to help people with life-limiting illnesses to live fully, with dignity and comfort, to the end of life. We also offer support to families and carers, particularly during times of grief.
What Is Hospice?
Hospice is a unique form of medical care designed for patients facing a terminal illness. It is a philosophy of care focused on comfort and quality of life, intended to give patients and their loved ones meaningful time together when the focus is on the people, not the disease. Hospice provides palliative care and enhances the patient’s quality of life through the treatment of pain and other symptoms.
Our hospice team has professional staff members devoted to delivering comfort and quality care at a time when it is needed the most. We utilize the best methods of pain management and symptom control to enable the patient to be as comfortable as possible. Our goal is to develop a trusting relationship with the patient and family, to honor the patient’s right to make decisions about their medical care, and to assist with the physical, emotional, and spiritual process for end-of-life care.
