Hospice care is a specialized form of support designed to provide peace to individuals facing the final stages of life due to a life-limiting or terminal illness. This care approach focuses on alleviating symptoms and ensuring the highest quality of life possible rather than pursuing curative treatments. Shiloh Hospice embodies this philosophy by offering comprehensive care that addresses the varying needs of patients and their families during this sensitive time.
What sets Shiloh Hospice apart is our unwavering commitment to compassionate care. Our team, consisting of highly skilled professionals, including physicians, nurses, medical social workers, hospice aides, grief and bereavement counselors, volunteers and chaplains, is trained to provide individualized care with empathy. We understand that the end-of-life journey is not only a physical process but also an emotional and spiritual one. Therefore, our care extends beyond medical symptom management to include emotional support and spiritual care, ensuring that patients and their families feel understood, respected and valued throughout their experience with us.
Choosing hospice care is an important decision that should be approached with careful consideration and early discussion. Shiloh Hospice prioritizes open and honest communication, assisting patients and their families through the decision-making process with unwavering support. We believe that informed choices empower individuals and families, allowing them to align care with their values and needs during this critical time.
