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. Palliative medicine provides comfort and improves quality of life with a focus on relieving pain, suffering, stress and symptoms of living with a serious illness. Unlike hospice care, palliative therapy is not time-limited and does not require the patient to have a prognosis of six months or less to live.

Hospice Pet Therapy Program

Our Pet Therapy Program at Angels Grace Hospice is a guided interaction with our therapy dog, Gracie, and her owner, Joe. She is warm, affectionate, friendly, and has a face that everyone loves. It's amazing how many times she walks out of a room and they say, "You made my day."
