Life is for Living

Hospice Care is a nonprofit organization that serves twelve counties in West Virginia and Southwestern Pennsylvania with local staff and offices.

What is the Hospice concept?

  • Hospice Care brings compassion, care and support to individuals and their families transitioning through life-limiting illness while providing outreach, education and expertise in grief support to the entire community.
  • Hospice is designed to help persons to live more comfortably and as fully as possible.
  • Hospice Care is a concept of care, not a place.
  • At a time when nothing more can be done to cure the disease, there is still so much that can be done for the patient and loved ones.

Hospice Care’s Goal

  • To relieve pain, fear and loneliness. Our focus remains on the living that is taking place.
  • We want our patients to “embrace life.” We do this by providing complete program of care, which includes:
    • management of pain
    • psychological support
    • social support
    • physical support
    • spiritual support
  • We view the family as the unit of care.
  • To be experts in the control of pain and discomfort.
