The hospice philosophy maintains end-of-life care should emphasize quality of life. At its core is the belief each individual has the right to die pain-free with dignity and families and friends should receive the necessary support to allow the individual to do so.

Hospice is about the time between an individual's life-threatening diagnosis and death. The goal is to treat the person, not just the disease. It involves a team approach to care, including expert medical care and pain management with emotional and spiritual support.

The Aspen Group Hospice Team preserves the patient's comfort and dignity during the last stages of life while supporting the family members and caregivers who provide the necessary patient care. Spiritual support is available for at least one year after the patient's passing to ease the grief and transition of family members dealing with loss.
