Your Home, Our Heart
The last days or months of life are precious
and should be lived with dignity, in peace and pain free
comfort. Hospice makes available this quality of life
opportunity by providing support and palliative care during the
final stage of life, but only when you, the patient and the
doctor decide together to enter into hospice care.

Karen Ann Quinlan Hospice
treats the person, not the disease, and care can
be given in the patient’s home, hospital,
nursing home, or private facility; however most
hospice care is given in the home. |

Our professional team of registered
nurses, certified health aides, social workers,
pharmacist, and therapists make available medical,
emotional, personal and spiritual care for the patient
and family during this difficult time.

of a loved one, or anticipating a loss through a terminal
illness, the Joseph T Quinlan Bereavement Center offers
thoughtful and concerned support services to match your
individual needs. The Not For Profit Center provides individual
and group counseling for anyone in need; participation in our
hospice program is not a requirement, however all Karen Ann
