[Agency Name]

You don’t have to face life-limiting illness by yourself.

Each care team includes • a palliative care physician, • registered hospice nurse • licensed vocational nurse • multi-faith spiritual counselor • medical social worker • speech therapist • physical therapist • dietician • patient care volunteer (if requested)

We offer skilled nursing care and medical equipment.

We will instruct you and family on how to manage your pain and symptoms, and what to expect.

Our counselors are available to help you, family members, and significant others through the upheavals that occur with terminal illness.

To relieve the stress of living with life-limiting illness, our patient care volunteers offer a listening presence and companionship to you and your loved ones.

We will continue to stay connected to your family after the passing of the loved one. Our bereavement service will offer as much or as little support as needed for as long as thirteen months.

What is hospice?

Hospice is a patient- and family-centered approach to caring for people with life-limiting illness.

When someone is terminally ill, not only is the body changing in unfamiliar, unwelcome ways, one is challenged emotionally and spiritually as well. Life-limiting illness confronts us with pressures and choices we may never have encountered before.

You don’t have to face these alone. At Advent Care, we know that you and your family have questions about how to manage these uncertainties.

Our number one mission is to give you the medical, social, emotional and spiritual support that you and your family need in the last days, weeks, or months of life.

Our team will be there for you and your loved ones.
