• Physician Visits - To develop a personal level of care our physicians visit patients in their home or home setting.

• Commitment to Care - From the moment the patient is deemed eligible for hospice, we guarantee a one hour response time.

• Lifestyle Services - Lifestyle Services ease the burden of daily activities on patients and families through in-home respite cleaning services and and errands.

• Nurse-to-Patient Ratio - We have consistently maintained a high nurse-to-patient ratio, as compared to the National Hospice average.

• Patient Care Visits - Through frequent patient care visits, our clinical team is able to manage symptoms, reduce crises, decrease burden on the family and ensure optimal care.

• Community Outreach - We support those in need through our Community Outreach program.

Hospice offers services unsurpassed by any other hospice program:

The emphasis of hospice is comfort and palliative care, rather than curative treatment; the staff and volunteers of Metropolitan Hospice accomplish this through clinical and spiritual excellence.

Metropolitan Hospice is committed to ease the pain and manage symptoms that interfere with patient's comfort and quality of life. Hospice treats the person instead of the disease, focusing on the family instead of just the individual. In addition, the Metropolitan Hospice's emphasis is on the quality of life rather than its duration.

Hospice care is different from other types of health care in that:

•An expert, multi-discipline care team tends to the needs of the patients and the family.
•In addition to serving the patients physical condition, we provide emotional, spiritual and social support to the family as well.
•Hospice care maintains a level of peace, comfort and dignity for the patient and the family.
