St. Luke’s Hospice offers a team of highly specialized professionals and volunteers trained to provide the care and support to help our loved ones die peacefully, and live as fully as possible until the end of life. Hospice care is intended for individuals who have six months or less to live, and serves people who wish to remain at home and are ready for comfort care.
We enter this world surrounded by love and comfort – and we deserve the same when we leave. The care provided by St. Luke’s Hospice allows people to die with dignity in their own homes, in familiar surroundings, with those they love by their side. We provide expert medical care, pain and symptom management, and emotional and spiritual support – offering stability and comfort when and where it’s needed most.
We can offer:
- Nurses who anticipate care needs and help prevent and relieve pain and other symptoms.
- Hospice physicians who specialize in addressing complex symptom management at the end of life.
- Medical social workers who provide emotional support, assistance with community resource needs and advanced care planning, bereavement care coordination, memory-making activities with families, and funeral planning.
- Hospice aides who assist with personal care and tidying.
- Volunteer services for companionship and socialization.
- Spiritual care/chaplain services.
- Dietary services.
- Grief support for families including counseling, mailings, support groups, phone contacts and in-person support (as requested) for up to 13 months.
