Hospice care is an essential service designed to provide specialized care and support for individuals who are in the end-of-life stage. This approach focuses on managing symptoms and enhancing the quality of life, rather than curing the illness.

Medications are carefully managed to control symptoms and alleviate pain. Additionally, our team is on call 24/7, ready to provide care and support whenever it is needed the most.
Shiloh Hospice also recognizes the crucial role of caregivers and family members in the patient’s journey. To this end, we offer short-term inpatient care and respite care to help alleviate caregiver stress and burnout. Grief and bereavement counseling are available to help families cope with the emotional challenges they may face during and after the hospice journey.
