Mission Statement
The mission of Hinds Hospice is to uphold the dignity and ease the suffering of the terminally ill while supporting their loved ones, and those who are grieving.
About This Cause
Hospice is a philosophy of care that focuses on patient comfort and quality of life rather than curing the person's disease. Hospice is a choice for someone with a terminal illness and life expectancy of six months or less, based on the normal progression of the illness. Hospice care is typically given in the patient's home. Hospice care in the home is not 24-hour nursing care, so patients are cared for by family members, hired caregivers, assisted living or skilled nursing home staff. When symptoms become too severe at home then 24-hour care may be provided at the Hinds Hospice Home. The goal of hospice is to provide compassionate, effective care that is consistent with the needs and goals of patients and family caregivers -- the goal is not to hasten death. Our hospice team works to maximize quality of life and minimize suffering for those we serve.
