Organization Details:

Alpha Omega Hospice's mission is to provide the terminally ill patient and their loved ones with the support and care they require to live their lives comfortably. Our Hospice team strives to enable the patient and family to maintain their dignity and quality of life.

Our goal is to help patients achieve physical, emotional and spiritual comfort. We strive to empower the patient and/or family by providing them with the tools, information and support they need to make decisions. We provide ongoing support for family and friends as long as needed.

We believe that Hospice care should be available to any and all persons with an illness for which there is no cure and a limited life expectancy.

Description:
The philosophy of our Hospice is to provide the terminally ill patient and his or her family and friends supportive and loving care, in tranquil surroundings, and the opportunity to live fully and comfortably for as long as possible. The patient is then permitted to die naturally and with dignity when the time comes.

Hospice Care seeks to alleviate emotional and spiritual pain, and to control the accompanying symptoms. While it may be futile to pursue aggressive treatments or surgery, Hospice can provide attention, friendship, care, and love.

The patient and his or her family are assured that the physician or Hospice Director, Social Worker, Pastoral Counselor and Nurse are available to discuss any matter of concern to the patient or family.

Our Hospice team believes that the patient has a right to complete privacy concerning his or her health care program, including all written communication, case histories, consultations, physical examinations and treatments.

History:
Alpha Omega Hospice began operating in May 2007. In addition, we operate Alpha Home Health, which began services in October 2008.
