Where Caring is a way of Life
Experience Our Compassion
End-of-life should be comfortable and meaningful. Hospice doesn’t mean death is at your doorstep. Even with a serious condition, life can still go on. Hospice is about making the remaining time, and ultimately the transition, as comfortable, peaceful and supported as it can be. Care is delivered wherever you are, almost always at no cost to you. Family Tree Hospice and Palliative Care works with you to create a personalized and customized care plan.
