Hospice Care
What is Hospice Care?
Hospice Care begins with a referral when life expectancy of a person is 6 months or less. Hospice is a philosophy of care that emphasizes a person's quality of life, providing comfort and support to both the person requiring hospice services and the family during the remaining days, weeks or months of a person's life.
When is residential hospice care needed or recommended?
Hospice Care can be provided in a person's home, at an assisted living facility, a nursing home or a hospital. However, if a person's symptoms become too difficult or complex to manage, residential hospice care may be beneficial. Members of the staff at Quiet Oaks are experts at managing pain, nausea, breathing difficulties, anxiety, and other debilitating symptoms that may be present at the end-of-life. Residential hospice enables family members to focus on their loved one rather than care giving.

"Death teaches us a truth that we were born knowing,
but have somehow forgotten within the business of life.
That we were always on loan to each other.
That every moment is sacred.
That it can always end. And that it will end.
And that this ending, will be a new beginning."
-Mira Simone
