Testimonials

"Hospice, what does it mean? To many people, the first thing that you think about is death. If you look it up in the dictionary, the definition is a hophsital for the dying. This may all be true, but to me, Hospice is for the living as well.

A few months ago, my mother was placed in Hospice care. To have my mom's doctor mention Hospice sent me into an emotional rollercoaster. I knew her time was near; the question was how I would handle it. After meeting the staff at Life Touch Hospice, I felt better knowing that my mom would be cared for by a good group of people and they would help me along the way. To all the staff of LIfe Touch Hospice, I say THANK YOU"
