Compassionate Hospice Care
Hospice Care is for people who are suffering from a serious or terminal illness.
It is high-quality, compassionate care provided by a team of experts. The team offers comfort, dignity, and support when you or a loved one has a six-month or shorter life expectancy. If you choose to be with your loved ones at home rather than in the hospital, hospice care is an option for you.

When to Start Hospice Care
Time is valuable. It's crucial for patients and their families to enjoy every moment of the end-of-life process. Early hospice therapy selection is beneficial. In fact, because of all the advantages hospice care provides, families frequently express the wish that they had made this decision sooner.
What to Expect During Evaluation
A hospice admission nurse will inquire about your loved one's diagnosis, symptoms or discomfort, medications, and a brief medical history during the evaluation. They will enquire about additional doctors and specializations. They will also answer any of your queries and explain hospice services as well as their objectives.
​
Signal Hill will work with you to determine whether hospice care is the best option for you and your loved one to assess whether you may benefit from the extra time that it can offer.
