Patients and Families

At Catholic Community Hospice, our focus is on caring for those with a life-limiting illness and their family members.  We take a team approach to managing the physical as well as the emotional and spiritual effects of the disease.  End-of-life care is provided in the comfort of home or in an assisted living community, skilled nursing facility or hospital. Our staff make regular visits to assess and provide support to the patient and family.
