Compassionate Hospice and End of Life Care in Seattle
Hospice care is intended to maximize quality for those at end of life by providing symptom management and pain control. This may include medications prescribed by a doctor, companionship of a volunteer sitting bedside, or a gentle massage by a training specialist. Hospice seeks to make this transition a time of comfort, relief, and release.
Hospice services provide extra assistance for families and caregivers in Seattle with bereavement counseling and grief support. An after-hours nurse is on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For more information, or to initiate care, give us a call at (206) 805-1930.
When facing a life-limiting illness, hospice care can help families cherish every moment remaining. Kline Galland’s interdisciplinary health care team is committed to meeting the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of patients and families during this time with a special emphasis on comfort, respect, kindness, and compassion.
When is Hospice Care Appropriate?
Hospice care is recommended when a person is entering the last six months of life. Hospice provides a comfortable and meaningful transition. Hospice is often paired with Palliative Care which provides pain management.
