Perhaps the biggest benefit: We take care of all maintenance, inside and out.
This is your life and your home. Do as much or as little as you like. There are countless opportunities for fun and fulfillment of all kinds. But certainly, we all need time for relaxing, recharging or simply some quiet time to ourselves. Being alone is always an option, but never a necessity.
Think of the monthly fee as a consolidation of all the bills and costs of living in a house.

Hospice is also called end-of-life care. It focuses on pain management and symptom control, rather than curative treatment. It’s based on the notion that we are all entitled to comfort, compassion and dignity at the end of our lives. Hospice can be a great comfort to both the patient and family caregivers.
A physician should be the one to identify a life-limiting illness or condition, with death expected within six months. Often a patient may live longer than this. Hospice care is appropriate for terminal illness, including cancer, organ failures and all types of dementias. If you’re unsure whether you or a loved one needs hospice care, please contact us or your physician.
