This is a safe, private home-like space for family and friends to spend quality time with their loved ones. It has a fully accommodated kitchen and family room for families to enjoy. There is a private, secure entrance, and family may move in or come and go. The family is supported 24 hours a day by a well-trained team consisting of MVHPC staff, professional caregivers from St. Francis Memorial Hospital, and volunteers. The client's primary care continues to support unless they are at a distance or the client does not have a provider. Then Hospice staff will arrange to find a physician who can support while in Hospice. This is a free service which also includes parking.
