The Desert View Difference
Our staff places the emphasis on the quality of life rather than the length.
Passion & experience
Hospice Care is a type of health care that focuses on the Palliation of a terminally Ill patient’s pain and symptoms and attending to their emotional and spiritual needs. Hospice has a Palliative focus without curative intent. Usually, it is for people who have decided not to pursue further options for curing their disease or there are no other options to cure their disease. Also for someone who has decided not to pursue further options that are burdensome, likely to cause more symptoms, not likely to succeed.
Committed to changing lives
Focus is on the whole person’s care.
Care is from the moment of diagnosis, so it doesn’t depend on the stage of the illness or whether you’re still receiving curative or life-prolonging treatments.
The Goals for both are to improve quality of life, increase overall comfort, provide emotional support for you and your family and help you make important decisions about your medical treatment.
