Hospice care seeks to alleviate emotional and spiritual pain, and to control the accompanying symptoms. While it may be futile to pursue aggressive treatments or surgery, hospice can provide attention, friendship, care, and love.

With appropriate intervention and utilization of the multitude of resources that are available for palliation and pain control, the last months, weeks and days of an individual's life can have quality, and provide loved ones with lasting memories of special moments.

We respect the patient's right to be furnished with complete and current information regarding his or her medical condition. This includes, but is not limited to; the prognosis and the planned course of palliative treatment, as well as any significant risks that may be involved. Each and every patient shall have the right to refuse any and all treatments.

The patient and their family are assured that the physician or hospice director, social worker, pastoral counselor, and nurse are available to discuss any matter of concern to the patient or family.

The patient has a right to complete privacy concerning their health care program, including all written communication, case histories, consultations, physical examinations, and treatments.

Haven Hospice™ exists to provide support and care to persons and their families who are in the final phase of living. Our goal is to enable them to preserve their human dignity and enrich the quality of their quality of life. Support for the family and/or friends continues after the death of the patient for as long as necessary.
