It's important to remember that hospice is not a place; it's a medical and philosophical approach to care. At Plantation Management Company's facilities we collaborate with local, licensed hospice agencies to provide medical, emotional, practical and spiritual support to our residents with terminal illnesses and their families.

Hospice care is most often given to individuals in the final stages of cancer, emphysema, diabetes, Alzheimer's, dementia, ALS, heart disease, and neuromuscular, kidney and liver disease. Our hospice care collaborators are available to provide our terminally ill residents with individualized care from a team comprised of:

Nurses who help manage physical symptoms and communicate information to the physician.
Social workers who help residents and families understand the emotional journey.
Spiritual coordinators who assist residents in meeting their spiritual needs.
Bereavement coordinators who help families prepare for their loved one's passing and who remain in touch following their death.

No matter the illness, it is important to remember that hospice is about living; it reaffirms life and emphasizes dignity and comfort while enhancing quality of life for the person coping with a terminal illness.
