Hospice is appropriate for any individual diagnosed with a progressive, life-limiting illness or condition with a prognosis of six months or less, if the illness or condition were to take its normal course. The program seeks to help clients live final months comfortably at home, rather than seeking ongoing curative treatments.

Hospice care includes 24/7 availability for consultation and urgent visits, distribution of medications and durable medical equipment related to terminal diagnosis, personal care needs and companionship provided by hospice aides and volunteers, personalized Veteran services, emotional and spiritual support from team of social workers and pastoral staff and bereavement services for all loved ones for 18 months following hospice care.
