The TrinityCare Hospice team provides comfort and care to individuals and their caregivers for whom a cure for illness is no longer possible. The top two priorities of hospice care are relief from pain and other distressing symptoms and creating opportunities for communication and closure. In order to fulfill these goals, the TrinityCare team is dedicated to making each patient's remaining months and weeks of life comfortable and meaningful. They work hand-in-hand with patients and their families to achieve this.
Each patient's situation is different. TrinityCare Hospice provides a variety of services so that any and all needs of our patients and their families are met. Many of these services are listed below.
