Enrolling in Hospice Care
R.C. Hospice Care is a family-owned agency that has dedicated itself to the families of its’ community. This organization is a legacy of the owner’s father; founded on care and compassion towards the human life, near the end of our journeys. It is important to approach one’s final journey with the utmost respect, care, and dignity.
Hospice is when an individual is diagnosed with a terminal illness and has no cure. No cure does not mean no care. Hospice provides medication and symptom management, medical equipment and complete care planning tethered to your terminal illness. Our Services include a Hospice Physician, Case Manager Registered Nurse, Home Health Aides for all hygiene and personal care, Medical Social Worker for all resource and comfort needs and a Chaplain for all your spiritual needs. Our organization also has an exceptional volunteer program.
