Hospice care is provided to patients and families facing a terminal illness. Public support is used to cover the cost of our service when there is no reimbursement. In this year, Hospice services were provided to more than 15,000 patients by our skilled nurses, home care aides, social workers, and chaplains. In addition to providing Hospice care in the home, Hospice of the Valley offers services to terminally ill patients whose needs, or the needs of their families, are better met in one of our ten inpatient facilities. This is a transitional time to control and manage patients' symptoms until they can return to their homes or less medically acute settings. Inpatient Hospice teams provide round-the-clock, compassionate, comfort care for patients and support for families. Doctors, nurses, social workers, chaplains, and nurses' aides address patients' medical, emotional, and spiritual needs in peaceful, homelike environments. the primary mission of Hospice of the Valley is to bring comfort, dignity, and compassionate care to our community.
