About Us
Our Hospice Team
Our interdisciplinary team is committed to providing compassionate, holistic care that prioritizes the comfort, dignity, and well-being of every patient.

By working as a unified team, we ensure that patients and their families receive the highest standard of care, delivered with empathy and respect during one of life's most challenging times
Certified Nurse Aides
Our hospice Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) are the backbone of nursing care, providing compassionate and dignified assistance with the activities of daily living (ADLs) for our hospice patients. From bathing and grooming to help with dressing, personal care, and mobility, our CNAs ensure that each individual’s needs are met with respect and kindness. They offer essential support that allows patients to maintain their dignity and comfort, no matter their stage of care. With a deep understanding of hospice care and a genuine commitment to enhancing quality of life, CNAs play a vital role in creating a safe, nurturing environment where both patients and their families feel supported. Compassionate care goes beyond medical treatment—it’s about offering comfort, peace, and emotional support during life’s most sensitive moments.
Chaplains/Counselors
Our hospice chaplains play a vital role in providing spiritual care and emotional support to patients and their families, regardless of their religious or spiritual beliefs. Our chaplains are trained to meet the unique needs of each individual, offering comfort, guidance, and companionship during life’s final journey. They provide a listening ear, offer prayers, and facilitate meaningful rituals or traditions, tailored to each person’s faith or personal beliefs.
No matter one’s background—whether religious or non-religious—our chaplains are committed to walking alongside every patient and family with respect, empathy, and understanding. They honor the diversity of human experience and create a safe, inclusive space where all are free to express their feelings, fears, and hopes. Through compassionate spiritual care, hospice chaplains provide a sense of peace, dignity, and comfort, ensuring that every individual receives the emotional and spiritual support they need at this significant time in their lives.
Social Workers/Counslers

In addition to navigating the emotional and practical aspects of end-of-life care, our social workers are a valuable resource for connecting families with community services and support systems. They help identify and arrange respite care stays, allowing caregivers to take time for rest while ensuring their loved one continues to receive the care they need. Social workers also provide counseling to help patients and families cope with the emotional challenges of the hospice journey, offering a compassionate, non-judgmental space for processing difficult emotions.
