Hospice Care at North Oaks Health System
Being diagnosed with an incurable illness can be overwhelming and terrifying. We want you or your loved one to live as fully and comfortably as possible during the last phases of life. Hospice is a special kind of care given in the home that provides support in a sensitive manner for patients with life-limiting illnesses.
"North Oaks Hospice provided the best care that I could hope for. I could not imagine getting better care or more caring, compassionate people."

Hospice care focuses on you and your loved ones – whether the needs are emotional, physical and spiritual, and emphasizes the importance of quality of life. Most patients receive hospice care in their own homes.
Support & Bereavement Counseling Services for Families
Bereavement counseling and support services are offered to families for one year following the death of their loved one. A special Hospice Memorial Service each spring and a Holiday Remembrance Celebration during the Christmas season bring hospice families and hospice staff together each year.
