Hospice Care

Hospice care is not a place, but rather a philosophy to provide comfort care to patients including medical, emotional and spiritual care focused on quality of life. Hospice provides experienced, compassionate care to patients and their families when faced with a serious, life-limiting illness. Hospice is high-quality medical care given when the focus shifts from curing the illness to providing comfort or when patients choose to not seek aggressive medical care at end of life...

Palliative Care

Palliative care is specialized medical care that improves quality of life for patients with a chronic or advanced illness.

What the Families of our Patients are saying…

You will never be forgotten.

On behalf of the family and friends, I would like to express our deepest gratitude to Angels Grace for the care and devotion provided to our Mom. Barbara entered hospice care in May 2021. At that time, I recall our family meeting with your representative and signing a series of papers. I was torn between thinking that hospice meant a short-term relationship of maybe a few months, but I also knew that Mom had an inner strength and fortitude, as well as generally decent physical health, the might surprise everyone. I think that she certainly proved that. But I also now realize that it wasn't just Mom's perseverance and attitude that prolonged her life for another 38 months - she had a lot of help and it confirms the adage that 'it takes a village'. Our family would like to thank your organization for the wonderful, tender and loving care provided to Mom during these many months. We want to particularly reach out to Jamie, Jordan, Barb, and Jeanne and thank them for their outstanding dedication to ensure that Mom was always comfortable, clean and safe. Also, their communication with Mom's fulltime caregivers, as well as with family members provided everyone with a sense of calm and confidence that Mom was always in the best possible situation. May God continue to bless all of you.

I just wanted to send a thank you message to you and the staff that worked with my dad! Everyone was so caring and helpful especially in his final week, I can’t express how much your team helped us come to terms with what was happening. We are so glad that Angels Grace was with my dad and our family through this journey.
