Patients do not have to be homebound in order to qualify under the hospice benefit.
At A Promise of Hope Hospice & Palliative Care, we employ a patient-centered, outcome-oriented approach that promotes patient care foremost. We believe it is an honor to serve our patient’s needs, and we work around the clock to provide compassionate and attentive care to every person touched by our program.
A Promise of Hope Hospice & Palliative Care provides in-home care and associated inpatient care for people with life-limiting illnesses. We strive to provide a positive, supportive environment for our patients and their loved ones. Hospice should be viewed as a gift, providing time in the life of a family that can create an opportunity for spiritual and emotional bonding.
