HOW HOSPICE WORKS
|
| |
It is our desire at Hospice of the Valley to not only carry out the hospice philosophy, but to always meet the needs of the patient. While most of our services are provided in the home, our certified staff and trained volunteers will go where the patient is living, be it at home, at a long-term care facility, an assisted living or independent living facility. "We are there when you need us, where you need us, for as long as you need us."
