Welcome to AseraCare Hospice and our website. We’re here to
provide patients and families who are facing serious illness and
grief the best quality of care and quality of life possible.
Caring for patients and families as a whole is of the utmost
importance to us. We focus our resources on serving the emotional,
spiritual, and physical needs of our patients and their families
with a sense of compassion, urgency, and care.
Our interdisciplinary teams of medical directors, nurses, social
workers, hospice aides, spiritual and bereavement counselors,
volunteers, and others are committed to treating each patient as if
they were a member of their own family. We strive to educate others
and be a catalyst for change to improve end-of-life patient care.
Our caregivers are committed to reducing patients’ pain and
suffering, preserving their dignity, and providing patients and
families with support during this critical time in their lives.
In every community we serve, our focus is to help patients
obtain the right care, at the right place, at the right time. We
want our patients to experience the best possible quality of life
through coordinated, evidence-based care and improved clinical
processes. We create awareness and environments that are
patient-centric and supportive of quality care.
I believe that hospice care should focus on patients and their
family members holistically and treat each patient’s end-of-life
journey with respect and compassion. AseraCare Hospice fosters a
culture that is dedicated to easing patients’ suffering. This is
accomplished through our caregivers’ ongoing gentle acts of
kindness, sympathy, and compassion and their efforts to alleviate
patients’ pain and discomfort. The work we do would not be possible
without the support and dedication of our employees, who share our
passion for this important mission.
Whether you’re a patient, a family member or friend, a
physician, a clergy member, or a volunteer, I hope that you will
find the information on our AseraCare Hospice website to be
helpful.
I speak for all of our caregivers when I say that we are
committed to seeing our patients and their families through the
final stages of life with dignity and peace.
