Who Do We Provide To?

Contrary to a common belief that hospice is just for people with end-stage cancer, hospice can help people with different life-limiting conditions when symptoms no longer respond to curative treatment. 

People with the following illnesses can qualify for hospice care. AIDS, ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) Alzheimer’s Disease or Other Dementias, Cancer, Congestive Heart Disease, End-Stage Liver and Kidney Diseases, Parkinson’s Disease, Lung Disease, Multi-system Breakdown, Multiple Sclerosis and Stroke.When appropriate, patient's primary physician and Grace Hospice's Medical Director will authorize start of Hospice care. Use of the Medicare Hospice Benefit requires a physician certification of a life-limiting illness.

Any patient with limited life expectancy whose focus is now on physical, emotional, and spiritual comfort can apply for Hospice care. When appropriate, patient's primary physician and Grace Hospice's Medical Director will authorize start of Hospice care. Patients with wide range of diagnoses (such as cancer,dementia, chronic lung disease, congestive heart failure, stroke) if disease is advanced, qualify for Hospice care.

Who Pays for Hospice Care?
