Goodwin House Hospice was created to meet the unique needs of our residents with progressive, life-limiting illness and the special needs of their families. An interdisciplinary team of skilled, compassionate professionals helps make the last stage of life a more comfortable, peaceful experience for all concerned. Focusing on the importance of personal dignity and quality of life, this experienced staff:

• Treats all physical, emotional and spiritual aspects
• Provides pain management and symptom control
• Coordinates supplies, equipment and medication related to the terminal illness
• Counsels the patient and the family
• Offers bereavement services for the patient’s family and loved ones for a year or more following the loss
• Has professionals on call 24 hours a day

Hospice care benefits individuals coping with terminal illness who want the focus of care to be on comfort rather than cure. Anyone can make a referral to Goodwin House Hospice on behalf of a patient, including:

• The patient
  
• A physician
  
• A social worker
  
• A family member
  
• A friend
  
• A member of the clergy
