Hospice is a continuum of health care considered to be the model for quality, compassionate care when someone is facing a life-limiting illness. Choosing hospice care doesn’t mean you are giving up…it means you have decided to take control over how you want to spend the rest of your life.
No one knows when the final season of life will be, but they can count on HWC to be there offering expert medical and personal care, as well as emotional and spiritual support expressly tailored to their specific needs and wishes. Education and support are provided each step of the way for the patient’s family/friends as well.
In Washington County, HWC is the only licensed provider for hospice care. Our team of committed professionals understands the importance of ensuring that every individual is able to LIVE their life to the fullest. The focus is on caring for the individual, not curing.
- Hospice focuses on helping a person LIVE; making the most of each minute, hour, day, week and month they may have during the final season of life.
- It is about allowing self-determined life closure; individuals remain the decisions makers of how they will spend their precious days, weeks, and months.
- Hospice focuses on quality of life, not quantity.
- We provide hospice care where ever the individual designates as being their home. That can be in a nursing home or assisted living facility.
- Hospice care is available to patients of any age, religion, race, or illness.
- Hospice care is covered under Medicare, Medicaid, most private insurance plans.
- HWC is a non-profit organization; therefore no one will be denied care.
