Essential Hospice

What can you do when there is no option to add days to your life? You add more life to your days. Hospice offers the possibility of enhancing the time that remains.  Essential Hospice’s goal is to establish an organization that promotes healthcare programs for end of life care.  

By providing palliative rather than curative care, hospice relies on the combined knowledge and skill of an interdisciplinary team of professionals to coordinate an individualized plan of care for each patient and family.  More compelling than its cost-effectiveness as a rationale for hospice care, is the fact that hospice is a humane and compassionate way to deliver health care and supportive services. Hospice is about enhancing the quality of life, not the quantity of life. The health care community is realizing that death or active dying is not considered a crisis in hospice, but is the expected outcome.

What We Do

Hospice provides a coordinated program of palliative care to terminally ill patients, and supportive services to patients, their families and significant others, in both home and facility settings, through a physician-directed plan of care. Specialized services include medical, nursing, home health aide, social services, spiritual care, bereavement services, volunteer services, and other appropriate counseling services. The hospice philosophy of care provides support for persons in the last phases of incurable illness so that they may live as fully and comfortably as possible. Hospice care seeks to enable patients to lead an alert, pain-free life and to manage symptoms so that their last days may be spent at home or in a home-like setting.
