Compassionate Care with Integrity

Restoring Dignity and Comfort at Every Step

Every patient we admit reinforces the understanding that Dignity Hospice exists because the community gives us the opportunity to serve.  Life with Dignity, our non-profit organization, is our way of giving back. We are a team who desires to impact our community with hope and help. sympathy is an emotion of feeling sorry for someone, it is an external feeling. Empathy is the action of entering into an emotional journey with someone, for us, it is an action of entering into their situation to render hope and help.

Our Mission

Life with dignity

Care for the Elderly

From time to time, the Dignity companies encounters a need that falls through the cracks of Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance.  Life with Dignity meets that need. Recently, we have provided hospice care for families that can not pay, provided medical equipment and extra caregivers to needy patients not eligible for benefits.

Development through Education

Generational poverty can be overcome!  Life with Dignity provides scholarships to individuals seeking to enter the healthcare field.  Often, it is a caregiver desiring to be a CNA, or a CNA longing to be a nurse that becomes the best professional simply needing a little help to make life better, we make a step up possible.

Empathy through Benevolence

You do not have to be elderly to have needs.  We provide benevolence to people of all ages.  For example, we were able to partner with our vendors and provide a hospital bed and specialized mattress to a young bed bound amputee who was developing bed sores.  The new bed can make the bed sores a thing of the past.

Dignity Hospice Levels of Care

Routine Home Care

Hospice care is available wherever the patient considers home, whether that’s a private residence, nursing home, assisted living community, or long-term care setting. Members of the hospice team will visit the patient according to their individualized care plan. These visits can occur daily, several times a week, weekly, or as needed based on the patient’s requirement.

Respite Care

Respite care is a level of hospice care designed to provide short-term relief for family caregivers. It allows caregivers to take a break while ensuring that the patient continues to receive care. This level of care allows caregivers to rest and recharge, knowing their loved one is in good hands. Respite care is typically covered as a hospice benefit for up to five days at a time.

General Inpatient Care

General Inpatient (GIP) care is a level of hospice care provided to patients who need short-term inpatient care for symptom management that cannot be managed in other. Is usually covered under the hospice benefit until symptoms are managed

Continuous Care

Continuous Care (CC) is a specialized level of care designed for patients who are experiencing severe symptoms that require constant monitoring and intervention. CC is provided in the patient home setting and involves at least eight hours of nursing care per day. CC is usually covered under the hospice benefit until symptoms are controlled.
