What is Hospice Care About? Hospice care is about living. It’s quality of life, personal choice and compassionate care. It’s about making the best of all our days, of the days we have left. It's about finding comfort and company and relieving suffering and pain. Hospice is about living life to the fullest. What Makes Providence Hospice of Seattle Different? We practice patient-centered care to address the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of adults, children and their families who are dealing with life-limiting and advanced illness. We have a rapid response time for swift admission to hospice services and an experienced, highly trained staff, who are experts in pain control and symptom management. Our innovative care team model, which includes a nurse, social worker and chaplain, assists patients and their families in maintaining and enhancing quality of life. We provide easy access to specialized pain and comfort treatments called "palliative care." If you have a life-limiting illness, you may be eligible to receive any medical treatment needed to relieve suffering and improve your quality of life. Hospice Cares As life unfolds, we tailor our services so that patients can live each day to its fullest. Hospice can help improve quality of life for any person, young or old, with a life-limiting illness.
