Why Hospice?
Dealing with a terminal illness involves many challenges.
Even accepting the diagnosis can be a hurdle unto itself. Although there are no simple solutions, there are balanced and intelligent choices for coping with the situation.
At Amara Hospice Care, we are committed to helping patients and families during the end-of-life stages by providing comprehensive management of symptoms and addressing their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. We firmly believe that patients deserve to be as comfortable and peaceful as possible.
Amara’s caring and compassionate team of providers is dedicated to: alleviate pain and symptoms; foster a state of calmness and harmony; and encourage an appreciation of family, friends, and life experiences.
When is hospice care appropriate?
Hospice care is appropriate for anyone with a life limiting medical condition, serious illness, or other physical limitations. Patients are eligible for hospice care when a physician determines that, given the natural course of the illness, life expectancy is limited .
