How Long is Hospice Care Available?

Many believe that signing up for hospice care is a sure sign of imminent passing, but in fact the course of a fatal illness may run for months.


At Islands Hospice, our focus is not on when life ends, but the quality of life for the time that remains. That means doing all we can to provide the best care available for our patients, ensuring their comfort and giving peace of mind to family and loved ones. And while it’s true no one can predict the length of life’s journey, Islands Hospice is committed to being there with you and your loved ones while preserving the dignity of a life rich with meaning.
