Our Philosophy
Dying and grieving are a natural outcome to life.
The individual and family are the unit of care - "Family" is understood to include significant other.
It is the right of the individual and family to know and discuss, in whatever terms they wish, the extent of the disease and its implications.
It is the right of the individual and the family involved, according to ability, in the planning and choice of care.
It is the right of all individuals facing death and bereavement to receive consistent physical, emotional and spiritual support while maintaining individuality and dignity.
It is the right of those providing care for the dying and bereaved to receive planned emotional and spiritual support.
Effective care must be coordinated and consistent, reflecting a common philosophy.
It is essential that hospice caregivers have a commitment to professional and personal growth.
