Hospice Philosophy
The philosophy of Access Hospice Care is that death is a natural occurrence; however, dying is a major life crisis.
Hospice care strives to encourage individuals with terminal illness and their families to live life as fully and comfortably as possible.
The Hospice program is a service primarily for persons who are facing death. The focus of care is on the Quality of Life. The real needs of patient and family are determined through an individualized approach of honesty and concern. The patient has whatever control is possible in his/her treatment and the focus is on his/her needs, feelings, and what the team can do to help.
