Hospice is a special kind of care tailored to meet each individual resident and residents' family's needs and desires at the end of life. Providence Hospice addresses the needs of the whole person - including their physical, spiritual, emotional, social and family issues.
Care is provided by a specially trained and highly dedicated team, 24-hours a day, seven days a week. Providence Hospice serves patients in private homes, nursing homes, assisted living and residential care facilities and foster homes.
Special occasions and holidays can be particularly painful after the death of a loved one. Providence Hospice invites you to attend one of our free seminars this season to learn how you can find practical and meaningful ways to cope during difficult days.
Volunteer classes start in October
It takes a special person to help when the moments are most sensitive. If you'd like to learn how to help people who are facing terminal illness, you are invited to attend our free hospice volunteer training course, starting on Oct. 6. There is a special need for hospice volunteers who are fluent in Spanish or Russian.
