What Is Hospice Care?

Hospice care is for people who are very sick and no longer getting treatments to cure their illness. Instead of trying to fix the illness, hospice helps the person feel better. That means less pain, less stress, and more comfort.

We help people spend their final days at home — surrounded by family, with dignity and peace. We also help caregivers understand what’s happening and how to care for their loved one.

Our goal is to make this time gentle, peaceful, and full of care.

My Mom was under their care for a month. They are the most kind caring people. They knew just what to do at all stages. It was a very difficult time but they help me get through it every moment. Thank you so much .

I have met the owners of Journey Palliative and Hospice and they are amazing! Ignore the ridiculous fake reviews.

I can't began to share with you of how thankful I am to Journey Hospice in dealing with my love one. Ovsanna was so professional and through in explaining to me what their services were and how they implement them. When we moved Frank to the new location Ovsanna was right there and took me aside and informed me that he was actually Transitioning now. She explained very gently and compassionately that it may be hours or a few days. He passed within a few hours. Emmanuel the RN came to stay with Frank overnight if needed and actually pronounced his passing was so kind and compassionate. The gentleness that they both gave Frank was so noted by all of us present. Also the priest (can't recall his name) was there at his bedside in time to give him the last rites. I can't praise Journey Hospice and their staff enough. I will recommend them to anyone who ask me about Hospice. Again Thank You and God Bless you for all the work you do. Irma Rocha

We had a wonderful experience with Journey Palliative and Hospice, after having a not so wonderful experience with another hospice. This company was so responsive and understanding. Our nurse, Ovsanna, was so caring and explained the whole dying process and what to expect as time went by. She was so patient with mom, and with all of us as we had questions. She was available whenever we needed her. The company took care of ordering all supplies and medications. It made the transition so much easier for all of us. I highly recommend this company.

There are no words for how wonderful Journey Palliative and Hospice was for my mom and our family. Our Hospice nurse, Ovsanna, was incredibly kind and caring and careful with mom, who was 100. With patience and care, she shared with us the process of passing and was so giving of her time as mom moved through these stages. Ovsanna was available for us 24/7 and would come anytime mom/we needed. She was aware of the comfort my mom would need and was there for her. Her kindness and understanding brought comfort to us as well. We felt completely supported, even after mom's passing. I would recommend this company with wholehearted sincerity for the best care your loved one could receive.
