Our Belief:
Alpenglow Hospice believes that the patient is best served in familiar, comfortable, and appropriate surroundings. For this reasons, patients may receive hospice care in a variety of locations, including their home or at a care center. While a family member or other caregiver provides daily care, members of the hospice team make regularly scheduled visits to the patient. When needed, a skilled hospice nurse is available on call, 24 hours a day to provide advice over the phone or to make an emergency home visit if necessary.
