Palliative care relieves symptoms and stress for anyone with a serious illness, at any stage, and it can be given alongside treatment meant to cure. Hospice is comfort-focused care for a person with a terminal illness and a life expectancy of six months or less if the illness runs its normal course, who chooses comfort care instead of treatment meant to cure the illness. Aspire offers both services.

At Aspire Hospice, we offer physician services, nursing services, music therapy, massage therapy, palliative care, and grief counseling.

No, hospice care is not giving up. Aspire hospice is focused on quality of life and helping our patients live the best life possible, no matter how long that may be. Being on hospice will not hasten death but will aim to make the remaining time in the patient’s life as comfortable and fulfilling as possible.

Possibly. It depends on the medication. You can speak to one of our patient care advocates to discover if your specific medication is covered.

When receiving hospice care, you have the power to decide how your care is managed. If you want your physician to manage your care, you are entitled to make that decision. We will work with you.
