1. Referral -

Hospice care begins with a request from you or a referral from your doctor when curative treatment is no longer an option or no longer desired. We contact you within two hours of referral to talk about your care and answer any questions

2. Admission

A specialized admission nurse will visit at a time of your choosing. At that time we will assess your individual needs to develop an individualized plan of care. Admission typically occurs within 24 hours and often the same day of referral.
