Solomon Valley Hospice offers a comprehensive program of care to patients and families facing a life threatening illness (not just cancer) with a prognosis of 6 months or less to live. Hospice is primarily a concept of care, not a specific place of care. Hospice emphasizes palliative and comfort care than curative care, and the patient is no longer seeking aggressive treatment for their disease process.

Hospice care is paid for by Medicare, Medicaid, and some private insurance companies. Hospice also receives monies from private donations, memorials, and thru our own fundraising. No one is ever denied services because of an inability to pay. |
