Most families don’t know when to ask about hospice — and many wait until the very end…

But hospice isn’t just for the final days.

It’s for someone living with a serious or terminal illness who is:

✔️ Losing energy
✔️ Eating less or losing weight
✔️ Sleeping more
✔️ Having difficulty walking or doing daily tasks
✔️ In and out of the hospital or ER
✔️ Feeling overwhelmed by symptoms or medications
✔️ Declining despite medical treatment

Hospice provides comfort-focused care at home or wherever the patient lives.

✨ What hospice includes ✨
•Regular nurse visits
•Home health aides for hygiene and comfort care
•Medications to help with symptoms
•Medical equipment & supplies
•Emotional and spiritual support
•A full team for the patient AND family
•24/7 support so no one has to navigate this alone

And the best part?

Most hospice care is fully covered through Medicare, Medicaid, and many insurance plans!

If you’ve been wondering whether hospice is right — please reach out.

There’s no pressure and no obligation — just education.
Sometimes the right conversation brings peace.

We proudly care for families across Westmoreland, Allegheny, Beaver, and Butler County. 🤍

📜 A LOOK BACK: The History of Hospice & How It Became What It Is Today 📜

🗿Middle Ages
Hospice began as shelters along pilgrimage routes — places where travelers, the sick, and the dying could find 🛌 rest, 🥣 food, and 🤝 human kindness. It wasn’t medical yet… it was refuge.

📚 1960s
Dame Cicely Saunders introduced the concept of “total pain” — understanding that suffering can be physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
She believed every person deserved comfort, dignity, and compassion at the end of life. ✨

🏥 1967
St. Christopher’s Hospice opened in London — the first modern hospice.
It combined research, symptom management, nursing care, spiritual support, and family involvement into one model that reshaped global care. 🌍💛

🇺🇸 1970s
The hospice movement spread to the United States.
Local nurses, volunteers, and doctors created the first community-based hospice programs, bringing comfort care into the home. 🏡

📘 1982
Congress created the Medicare Hospice Benefit, making hospice an official part of U.S. healthcare.
This milestone made comfort-focused care accessible to millions of patients and families. 🏛️💙

👶 1990s
Hospice expanded beyond cancer.
Pediatric hospice programs emerged, and care grew for dementia, heart failure, lung disease, neurological disorders, and rare illnesses.
Teams became more specialized: nurses, aides, chaplains, social workers, volunteers, and therapists all working together. 🤍

🛏️ 2000s
Worldwide awareness increased.
Hospice became recognized as vital healthcare, not “giving up.”
More people chose hospice earlier to focus on comfort, quality of life, and support. 🌟

🧰 2010s
Hospice invested in quality, communication, education, and family support.
Charting improved, symptom management advanced, and teams focused on honoring choice, autonomy, and dignity. 📲✏️💛

🚪 2020s
Hospice continues to evolve with telehealth, better communication tools, improved comfort care, and rising needs as populations age.
Through every decade, the mission stays the same:
comfort, dignity, compassion, and supporting families through life’s most meaningful moments. 🤍🕊️

Together, we continue the mission started centuries ago:
to bring comfort, dignity, and compassion to every person who needs us.

And we’re honored to serve our community with those same values today.🤍

Even on a quiet Sunday, comfort-focused care makes a difference.

Caring for someone with hospice needs is some of the most powerful work a person will ever do.
It is emotional. It is exhausting. It is selfless.
And it is also deeply meaningful. ✨

To walk beside someone in their most vulnerable moments — to comfort, to advocate, to love — is an act of profound devotion 🕊️ But even the strongest caregivers need care too.

That’s why we offer:
🤍 Spiritual services to support the soul and honor personal beliefs
🌿 Respite care to give caregivers time to rest, breathe, and heal
🫂 Ongoing emotional and clinical support every step of the journey

This work is heavy.
This work is sacred.
This work is unforgettable.

And you do not have to carry it alone 🤍
