Hospice a way of caring…
When you have been diagnosed with a terminal illness and the options become limited, hospice gives you the choice of focusing on your quality of life.
Hospice is about support, compassion and expert care in the comfort of one’s own home.
Our team addresses the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of each individual. Our care that aligns with their values, wishes, choices and needs. It’s what hospice was uniquely designed to do.
How High Peaks Hospice helps:
The expertise, support, and resources our care team provides ensures the highest comfort and quality of life possible. The care provided is driven by patients and families. Our nurses and staff members ask: What do you need? How can we help? What can we offer to help plan for the months and weeks ahead?
Our interdisciplinary team provides services in the patient’s home. Equipment (such as wheelchairs, hospital bed, oxygen), medical supplies, and medications related to the hospice illness to prevent symptoms or discomfort are all included.
As a patient of High Peaks Hospice, we support you in living as fully as possible. We have many patients that continue to travel, visit their loved ones, take day trips and enjoy weekend get-a-ways.
Our care focuses not only on the person who is living with a terminal illness, but also on their family.
“You matter because you are. You matter to the last moment of your life. And we will do all we can to not only help you die peacefully, but also to help you live until you die”.
Research shows that individuals and families receiving hospice care for 3 months or more feel best supported and get the most out of their hospice services.
“I must commend two of your workers. They helped my wife pass without pain and with dignity in the comfort of her own home. They are angels in human form.
Their warm, truly genuine compassion made the most difficult time in my life so much less stressful. Katie spent more time with us and instantly became a true friend. Your organization is so fortunate to have people like that.
I cannot possibly thank them enough.”
“Words cannot express our gratitude to High Peaks Hospice for all they did for Bill and his family…
Everyone was so helpful and caring. They gave Bill the most loving care possible and gave Doug and me constant support and love. Thank you everyone!”
“While Uncle John’s family was very blessed to have had you in their lives during Uncle John’s illness, it is comforting to know that you will continue to be there for my aunt when she needs you too, as she forges a new path for herself…
One of the greatest gifts that we can give to others is the gift of ourselves. Not only do the people of hospice do that, but they help those of us who want to – but may not know exactly how to – do that too…
Thank you all for the love and support you have shown our family!”
OUR FOCUS IS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
