Hospice

Hospice care: Care designed to give supportive care to people in the final phase of a terminal illness and focus on comfort and quality of life, rather than cure. The goal is to enable patients to be comfortable and free of pain, so that they live each day as fully as possible. Aggressive methods of pain control may be used. Hospice programs generally are home-based, but they sometimes provide services away from home -- in freestanding facilities, in nursing homes, or within hospitals. The philosophy of hospice is to provide support for the patient's emotional, social, and spiritual needs as well as medical symptoms as part of treating the whole person. At SunriseHealthnet.com, our goal is to assist your family in focusing on one thing; spending quality time and enjoying your loved ones in their final days. We understand that this process is sad and painful, so we are trying to make it easier to deal with. The Hospice Companies that we refer you to will treat you as if you were part of their own family; a qualification we look for in providing the SunriseHealthnet.com Resource...

Hospice by the Sea
Boca Raton, FL

Hospice by the Sea begins its 4th decade!

Hospice by the Sea’s roots run deep in Palm Beach and Broward counties. Started back in 1978 by a small group of citizens in Boca Raton offering hospice care to 17 families, today Hospice by the Sea’s team of 460 employees and 398 volunteers provide hospice care, palliative care and caregiver, bereavement and home health agency services to more than 5,000 patients each year in Palm Beach and Broward counties. The volunteers that founded Hospice by the Sea, Florida’s second-oldest hospice organization, believed that all of those dying should be afforded the simple gifts of peace, comfort and dignity. This belief has not changed: Hospice by the Sea’s mission today is to bring patients and families throughout Broward and Palm Beach counties the most skilled, compassionate, and culturally-sensitive care and support possible. Its doors are open to people of all ages, all illnesses, and all walks of life. Everyone seeking services is welcomed, regardless of their ability to pay.
