Cherish Hospice

Care always matters

Cherish Hospice brings a holistic approach to end-of-life care for loved ones and their families.

Cherish Hospice is built on three pillars of values: compassion for the patient, guidance every step of the way, and ensuring the patient’s quality of life accommodates all the physical and emotional comfort we could give them.

Our mission

Our Mission

It is the mission of Cherish Hospice to wrap the end-of-life days in a cocoon of compassion, guidance, and quality of life for the patient and their family. By fulfilling every emotional, spiritual, and medical need of the patient until the final moment, we stand by our mission that care always matters.

To Cherish Life

Hospice care is a philosophy of treatment focused on caring, not curing. The goal is to help patients get the best quality of life in the time remaining. Hospice staff care for any type of physical and emotional symptoms that cause pain, discomfort, and distress. The care is specifically designed around the patient’s needs and wishes.

Hospice takes care of not just the patient, but their family as well. The compassionate staff of Cherish Hospice is there every step of the way, providing the patient’s loved ones with support through the emotional, spiritual, and medical challenges that arise.
Hospice care is frequently provided in the patient’s home, but can be received in hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living, and other long-term care facilities.

Importantly, patients in hospice can stop hospice service at any time. In no way will the hospice team hasten or postpone the death of a patient. Instead, they will treat the symptoms of the illness and will make the end-of-life process as peaceful and comfortable as possible.

Our Three Pillars of Care

Compassion

The end-of-life journey is challenging for the patient and their loved ones. Our number one priority during this physically and emotionally draining time is to surround the patient and their family with uncompromised compassion. They need to feel loved, cared for, and cared about. The least we can do during the end-of-life period is make sure that the patient is ensconced in a cocoon of compassion with caregivers who feel for them and with them.

Guidance

The maze of decisions and tasks faced as the end approaches is as confusing as it is daunting. We hold the family’s hand firmly as we guide them through the emotional, technical, and spiritual aspects that end-of-life brings with it. Nobody should have to go at it alone, and Cherish makes sure that the patient and their loved ones receive guidance at every step of the way.

Quality of Life

We cannot change the outcome, but we can affect the journey. We cherish the time a patient has left and will do everything in our power to enhance their physical and emotional comfort during that time. Using the best that pain management and mental health has to offer, we ensure that the patient’s physical and emotional symptoms are addressed and every last request is seen to.
