What is hospice, and what are its benefits?
For those facing a terminal illness, their last wishes often revolve around three simple things: family, comfort and home. The care and support hospice provides prioritizes these wishes so patients can pass in peace and on their own terms.
Providing Comfort and Care
It’s difficult enough to have one parent transition to hospice care, let alone two. But for Warren Lewis Jr. and his wife, Terry, Masonic Village Hospice was truly a gift for their family.
Embracing His Calling Through a New Role
Masonic Village Hospice Chaplain Tyler Brown felt the calling to do seminary work after spending several years as a U.S. Army medic. Working with Masonic Village has changed his mind set about what hospice is and what it does for a person.
Granting Wishes to Make Special Moments
Through the Special Moments program, hospice staff are able to do something meaningful for patients by making their end-of-life wishes come true, whether it be taking a golf cart ride around campus, going to a baseball game or attending a family wedding.
