To not only support you, but the people who are important to you as you approach the end of your life with dignity and comfort and during their bereavement.
Hospice Care: Where and When it's Needed
Hospice services aren't always by one's own facility. It is a service that comes to those who are terminally ill and are in need of comfort and care, whether one is in a hospital, a skilled nursing facility, a group home or a residential home.
​
Our mission is to provide you with uncompromising comfort through compassionate care, no matter where you are.
​
Our staff is specially trained to meet your needs in hospice services and to help manage your symptoms. We provide medications, pain management, medical equipment and supplies to meet your needs and to also aid you and your family with any emotional and spiritual guidance needed.
​
A patient's pain and symptoms, and by virtue of a physician's recommendation is deemed appropriate for palliative care and hospice service if any of these medical conditions exist:
Unremitting, progressive or chronic decline in health.
Increased or intolerable pain
Repeated confinements and hospitalizations
Recurrent or multiple infections
Profound weakness and incessant fatigue
Shortness of breath with or without oxygen support
Decreased ability to perform daily activities
Profound changes in mental conditions
Exhaustion from the patients and family members
Decision or desire to discontinue aggressive treatment
Being With Those You Love
Knowing what's to come and being able to prepare for it can help you get the support and care that you need.
​
One of our greatest fears is dying alone in a hospital, hooked up to tubes where your loved ones cannot even be with you. We also fear dying in pain. If possible, we would prefer to spend our final days pain-free, surrounded by those we love and in a setting that we are familiar and comfortable with.
​
"Hospice isn't the end. It's really joining two things--hope with service. Hospice never takes away
a person's hope and gives many services to achieve this."
​
The thought of death can be unpleasant and worrisome. Together with you and those you care about, we will be with you every step of the way. We are here to give you comfort and answer any uneasy questions, concerns and expectations as you go through this difficult time.
​
Liberty Creek Hospice's philosophy is that every patient has a right to a dignified death -- free from pain; and that your loved ones have the support they need when the time comes.
