When a life limiting illness no longer responds to cure oriented treatments, Alpine Hospice can provide special patient care that will focus on providing comfort and support to patients and their families. Our staff utilizes their specialized knowledge to improve the quality of a patient's remaining time, providing physical comfort and emotional support to patients and families. Hospice services are available as early as six months prior to an expected passing. The benefits of hospice can best be maximized when implemented early on.
When you choose Alpine Hospice you will receive the services of a supportive team of professionals to help you address the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of you and your loved ones. Nursing services are available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Members of the team make scheduled intermittent visits but are available to provide support on an emergency basis if needed.
In addition to state licensing, many of our physicians and nurses are also nationally certified in hospice and palliative care.
