Compassionate Care When It Matters Most
A for-profit hospice organization serving the community with over three decades of experience, longer than other hospice programs in the region.
When to Seek Hospice Care
To achieve the best quality of life for your loved one, seek hospice care as soon as possible in their final journey.
Increased Difficulty
Increased difficulty performing daily tasks, including personal care, and tiring easily.
Reduced Appetite
Reduced desire to eat with significant weight loss and general decline in physical condition.
Severe Symptoms
Severe pain, shortness of breath, and frequent ER visits or hospitalizations.
Emotional Changes
Feelings of hopelessness and depression, mental confusion, and rapid health decline despite medical treatment.
Additional Comfort Resources
We offer specialized therapies and resources to enhance comfort and quality of life for our patients and families.
Music Therapy
Music therapy provides healing benefits to address the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional needs of loved ones at the end of life. The music therapist creates a personalized treatment plan that may include singing, moving, listening, and creating music.
Massage Therapy
In the hands of a skilled therapist, massage can ease pain and anxiety, enhance relaxation, and promote inner peace for patients at the end of life. Massage can help families make a connection with their loved one and bring a sense of peace.
Help at home: Certified home health aides can visit your loved one daily to help with tasks such as bathing, light housekeeping or changing linens. Ask your care coordinator about how to access these resources.
An Approach to Care That Treats the Person
Hospice is an approach to care for people suffering from life-limiting illness that treats the person rather than the disease, most often at home. Heart to Heart Hospice Corp has developed a complete and compassionate hospice program of medical care and support that helps patients and families make the most of their time together.
Too often, hospice care isn't started soon enough. Sometimes a doctor, patient or family member is hesitant to begin hospice care because they feel they are "giving up." But hospice care actually is an opportunity to enrich the end-of-life experience and enhance dignity while being surrounded by loved ones.
The goal of hospice care is comfort rather than cure. It allows a loved one to pass away peacefully and naturally without extraordinary interventions, focusing on adding life to days rather than days to life.
The Pillars of Hospice Care
Managing symptoms, providing practical help and offering companionship and emotional support are the pillars of hospice care.

Around the clock access to care with management of complex pain and other symptoms by our interdisciplinary team.
Practical Help
