Shiloh’s expert team strives to develop individualized plan of care which are sensitive to the requirements and the wishes of every patient. We always act in the best interest of our patients, working with them and their families to create a patient-centered plan of care in line with their needs. We have a wealth of experience in symptom control and pain management, which enables us to limit the amount of pain or discomfort experienced by patients as a result of terminal illness. The Shiloh team specializes in providing hospice and palliative care to patients wherever they call home in, or close to, Homewood. These settings include private residences and nursing homes, to hospitals or any other location preferred by the patient and their family. We set out to enable our service users to maintain their dignity, autonomy, and preferences throughout their plan of care. Our physician-led care plans are driven by compassion for our patients and their loved ones, and we are always sensitive to the unique care needs present in every case. All care provided by our team is professionally delivered per the wishes of the patient and their family to honor the needs of the communities we serve in Homewood.
We proudly facilitate a higher quality of life through our palliative and hospice care services, which is possible by promoting well-being and managing discomfort related to the end-of-life. Our development and delivery of patient-centered care facilitate the growth of professional relationships between our team and our service users. Many families of those we have cared for previously have left reviews demonstrating the value of our services, which you can see on our testimonials page. Ultimately, our understanding of the importance of respect and compassion influences everything that we do, and sits at the center of our mission to support our patients and their families.
We Aim For Excellence In All That We Do.
Hospice is committed to providing compassionate support for individuals facing terminal illnesses, caring for their physical, mental, and spiritual well-being as they navigate the end of life. Similarly, palliative care shares the same philosophy of comprehensive patient care, extending its services to non-terminal patients, offering them the opportunity to lead longer, happier lives.
- By law, all healthcare professionals must respect your choice.
- You don’t need to use the hospice connected to your hospital.
