our services
Hospice Care Hospice care is specialized care when an individual and their doctor determine that future efforts to cure an advanced life-limiting illness are no longer feasible or desirable. We offer a broad array of services for children and adults, along with comprehensive support for our patients’ loved ones. Our focus is on helping people make the most of every moment of living by ensuring they are as comfortable and pain-free as possible. Elizabeth Palliative Care Our team of care navigators is specially trained in pain and symptom management. We help improve the quality and dignity of life for patients who may continue to receive curative treatment. Pediatric Hospice Care We have a dedicated team of professionals who specialize in providing care for children diagnosed with life- limiting conditions. Caring for these children is complex because, unlike adults, their bodies continue to develop physically and emotionally throughout their illness. Since federal regulations allow children to receive curative treatment while on hospice, our Pediatric Team often works with a child’s primary care physician and specialists to relieve their symptoms and manage their pain.
Veteran Support The Elizabeth Hospice is committed to ensuring that veterans feel appreciated and receive the medical support and attention they need and deserve. Our hospice caregivers have specialized training that enables them to address post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, survivor’s guilt, and soul injury. Grief Support for Children and Teens Our comprehensive bereavement program for children and teens is free and available to everyone in the community. Grief support services include on-campus support groups in 19 school districts, peer support groups in our two Children’s Bereavement Centers, summer grief camps, and grief education for school professionals.
“My caregivers are dear and magical people, personal to the point where I would call them good friends. They listen in a way that most people don’t. They’re engaging, personable, and delightful; I look forward to each one’s visit.” Brenda , hospice patient
“Hospice was a more personal option for Kylah than being in the hospital. Kylah could be in her bed, surrounded by her family, her things, and her cats. The amazing people who work for The Elizabeth Hospice provide medical and emotional support while treating kids and parents like regular people. That’s very much appreciated.” Jennifer , mother of a hospice patient
