We are a free standing hospice agency, designed to assist all patients and families in anyway we can. At Doctor's Hospice we believe : > that everyone deserves to live out their life to the fullest. > that no measures should be taken to hasten death. > that patients should be in control of their care. > Respect for the worth and dignity of each individual > Dedication and commitment to the highest quality compassionate care > Neither the hastening nor the postponing of death > Quality of life as opposed to the length of life > Treatment of the patient, rather than the disease > Alleviation of pain rather than curative treatment > Patient care training and counseling support for the patient, caregiver andfamily > Hands-on care by the Nurse and Nursing Assistant when appropriate > Assistance from the interdisciplinary team on a 24/7/365 basis. > Bereavement support for families and loved ones after a loss > in "helping people find peace....in troubled times."
