Hospice Services

Compassionate Care Rooted in Faith

At ExpectCare Hospice, care is more than a service—it is a ministry of compassion. Rooted in Christian values, we care for each patient with dignity, kindness, and respect while supporting the entire family through one of life’s most meaningful seasons.

Our goal is to bring comfort, peace, and reassurance to patients facing a life-limiting illness, while helping families feel supported, informed, and never alone.

Services Provided by Hospice

Our services are delivered by a compassionate multi-disciplinary team designed to meet both clinical and personal needs based on a patient's individualized plan of care. Skilled nursing care and medication management are provided by licensed healthcare professionals, while trained volunteers may offer non-medical support such as companionship and assistance with light tasks around the home. Volunteer-provided services depend on the availability of qualified volunteers and may vary by location and scheduling needs.
Services are caringly provided by a skilled and compassionate team of Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, RNs, CNAs, Social Workers, Chaplains, and Volunteers.

Care Works Best Together

Hospice care is a partnership between our care team and the people who know the patient best. Our nurses, aides, social workers, chaplains, and support staff provide compassionate care, guidance, scheduled visits, and 24/7 on-call support, while caregivers help with daily comfort, safety, and communication.
Working together ensures the patient’s needs, wishes, and changes in condition are recognized and supported with dignity, compassion, and respect.
