Where do you find the sacred? Reflections of a hospice chaplain
Chaplains help patients at the end of life connect to whatever they find spiritually meaningful. But what does that mean, and how does it help? Our chaplain explains.
How We Help
These are some of the kindest and most caring people you could meet. They provide a much needed service. They treat the person and family with emotional and physical support that gets them through this difficult period. I cannot thank them enough.

Signs and Symptoms: When to Know it is Time for Hospice
Hospice switches the focus of care to comfort. It is not about giving up, it's about living the way you want to at end of life. Here are some examples of patients who would benefit from hospice care:
A man in his 80s with CHF who has been hospitalized several times over the past two years
A woman recovering from heart surgery who has not told her family if she would like to be resuscitated to save her life again
A woman with chronic kidney disease whose doctor tells her she will soon need dialysis
A man with dementia whose daughter can no longer leave him home alone safely while she runs errands
A cancer patient who has lost her appetite as a side effect of chemotherapy
A woman who has lived with COPD for five years and now needs her inhaler to climb stairs and do laundry
