Who We Are

 

Hospice Care

When you or a loved one is no longer benefiting from curative medical treatment for a serious illness, it may be time to transition to hospice care for maximum comfort and support during the next stages. CHI Franciscan Health hospice care is a comprehensive program that guides patients and their families through serious illnesses and all they entail. Franciscan Hospice is available throughout all of King, Kitsap and Pierce counties.

The sooner you call, the sooner we can help

The focus of hospice care is on the quality of life, and this is defined by each patient and their loved ones. Our goal is to coordinate care with you, supporting your choices while you retain individuality and control. The sooner you call on Franciscan, the sooner we can help you be more prepared to handle important decisions and changes.

The benefit of unique and caring services

Hospice care is a coordinated effort of a team of providers and specialists – working with you, your family and primary physician – from the time of admission to hospice through the grieving process in a very individualized way. Hospice trains and facilitates family and other caregivers to meet their loved one’s needs.

 

What We Do

 

Franciscan Hospice and Palliative Care exists to affirm life and give meaning to death. We work together as a team of professionals and volunteers to discover and meet the unique needs of hospice patients and their families, providing them with both practical and emotional support.

Volunteers might hold a hand, read a book, listen to life stories, play a game or give a caregiver a break.  Our volunteers can do whatever adds to the quality of life of our patients and families including taking a drive, helping with tasks, and being a companion in their end of life journey.
