Hospice and Palliative Care serves people with life-limiting illness. Offering a coordinated care program of physical, emotional, spiritual and psychosocial support, it helps patients focus on ling fully and comfortably. Hospice helps terminally ill people, together with their physician, family, friends and clergy, face the end of life together and enhance quality of life, even as death nears. Above all, it respects the right of terminally ill people to choose how and where they live and die. Palliative Care offers comfort focused on symptom and pain management, with or without a terminal diagnosis. Caregiver Support provides encouragement and respite for residents of Central Vermont who care for loved ones with life-limiting illnesses. Music Therapy brings comfort and peace through the use of music and sound provided by a professional mu-sic therapist.
