Our hospital to home care services
End-of-life care at home allows for a peaceful and dignified passing in the most comfortable and secure environment. While some people spend their final days in hospitals, hospices, or nursing homes, many now prefer to remain at home, surrounded by loved ones. To ensure consistent care aligned with their preferences, older individuals should communicate their end-of-life care choices to caregivers in advance.
