Hospice is a concept of specialized care for the patient with limited life expectancy. Aurora at Home provides homoe care with inpatient care if necessary for symptom control. Quality of life, symptom management and control, as well as emotional and spiritual balance are objectives of all staff involved in patient/family care. The care given by the staff incorporates patient/family values and beliefs.

The Aurora at Home hospice program promotes this philosophy through a team approach. A full range of services are available to meet the needs of the patient and family making it possible for the patient to remain at home.

Hospice enhances the quality of remaining life by promoting comfort and choice. In hospice, death is a natural rite of passage.
