In short

  • We provide nursing, social work, spiritual counseling, dietary counseling and bereavement services with our own staff.
  • Care is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our after-hours number is (813) 555-0199.
  • Most care happens at home. Inpatient care is short-term, for pain or symptom control or respite only.
  • We serve everyone regardless of ability to pay. Never tell anyone they cannot have hospice because they cannot pay.
  • Give anyone who asks about our services the services and admission criteria sheet.
