What is Hospice?

Hospice provides support and care for persons with a life-limiting illness so that they may live life as fully and comfortably as possible. Hospice recognizes dying as part of the normal process of living and focuses on maintaining the quality of remaining life. Hospice affirms life and neither hastens nor postpones death. Hospice care is not an end to the patient’s treatment, but a shift to comfort-oriented care that is focused on improving the quality of life. Guardian Angel Hospice exists in the belief that through the care we provide, patients can remain as comfortable as possible for as long as possible. We will focus on the easing of pain and other symptoms.
