Genesis Hospice

Philosophy

Hospice affirms life. Hospice exists to provide support and comfort to dying patients and their families in the terminal phase of any illness.

Hospice neither hastens nor postpones death. Hospice exists in the hope and belief that, through appropriate care and the promotion of a caring community, patients and their families attain a satisfactory degree of mental and spiritual preparation for death.

In each of our care settings, Genesis Hospice offers specialized care for people at the end of life, and their families that:

• Treats the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the central family (holistic)
• Concentrates on making patients comfortable and free of pain
• Considers helping family members an essential part of its mission
• Believes the quality of life to be as important as the length of life
