Welcome Nevada Hospice Care
Families turn to hospice care when facing the terminal illness of a loved one. Hospice provides an environment in which families can face death experiences in a supportive, understanding and homelike setting. Through pain management, emotional counseling and support, and compassionate health care, hospice treats the patient as a whole person facing end-of-life issues, rather than combating the disease.
