Hospice care focuses on quality of life for people who are suffering from a serious, life-limiting illness or disease. Hospice care provides holistic, compassionate care that promotes living life as comfortably and fully as possible.
Hospice care seeks to neither hasten nor postpone death. The philosophy involves treating the patient and symptoms of the disease, rather than treating the disease itself. A team of specialized healthcare professionals work together to manage symptoms so that a person’s last days may be spent with dignity and quality, surrounded by their loved ones. Hospice care also addresses the needs of the family. Patients and their family will be activitly engaged in making patient-centered care decisions.
Our vision at Lighthouse Hospice is to become the most competent and inspiring hospice in the Treasure Valley. We believe that the idea that everyone has a right to the highest quality of care applies to everyone we serve from patients, to doctors, to pharmacists, and to our own staff.
We create an environment where we are always seeking to improve upon what is good today so we can be better tomorrow. At Lighthouse Hospice, we are proud to be a small, locally owned and operated business that chooses to put quality patient care and effective staff appreciation and retention above our bottom line results.
