Hospice Services

"It was truly a blessing to have the hospice staff helping me care for my husband. Simple things like having medications delivered was so helpful. Even though my husband was the patient, at every visit someone always wanted to know how I was doing or getting along. It helped me not to feel so alone or scared. Thank you so much." — Spouse of Napa Valley Hospice Patient

Hospice is a complete system of care and support for persons facing the end of life. Hospice professionals focus on providing comfort, symptom alleviation and specialized end-of-life services in a supportive and dignified environment, with the goal of allowing patient and family to experience the highest quality of life possible.

When cure is no longer an option, hospice services allow individuals to receive care in the comfort of their home or residence. The hospice team, including the patient’s personal physician, work with the patient and family to tailor a plan of care focused on each person’s individual needs, and helping caregivers know what to expect in the course of the illness.
