About MorseLife Hospice and Palliative Care
We believe that Hospice affirms life. We recognize dying as a process and so our care provides comfort rather than cure. Hospice neither hastens nor postpones death. We provide physical, emotional, and spiritual care to terminally ill persons and their families. Hospice helps the terminally ill person maintain quality of life while helping family members through an extremely stressful time in their lives. Hospice is primarily a home care program, but services may also be provided in a hospital or nursing home. A hospice team helps the patient and family make informed decisions about caregiving, teaches the necessary skills for "hands-on" care and helps with the approaching and actual death. Hospice also offers help through the bereavement period.Our volunteers provide service in multiple areas:CompanionshipBereavement SupportEmotional SupportVigil SupportPractical support such as running errands and light housekeepingAdministrative SupportWe also utilize specialty therapies and skills such asPet TherapyMusic and Art Inclusion TherapyMassage TherapyCosmetologyLawAssignments are flexible with your schedule.
