What is Hospice?
Hospice is a philosophy of care designed around the goals and wishes of our patients. Our interdisciplinary team of experts provide high quality, individualized, compassionate care for those facing a life-limiting illness or injury.
When is Hospice Appropriate?
Hospice care can be considered when faced with a life-limiting illness and a cure is no longer the goal.
Patients are eligible for hospice care when a physician determines that, given the natural course of the illness, life expectancy is six months or less.
Anyone can refer a patient for a hospice consultation. A patient may refer themselves or be referred by a family member, caregiver, friend or healthcare provider.
If you or your loved feels that hospice care may be appropriate, please call Seasons Hospice at 507-285-1930 and talk with our admissions team.
