Living with an advanced illness can be a time of stress and confusion. Patients and their families have very special needs. They are often bewildered by the many treatment options available and fearful of what the future may bring. Tidewell Hospice offers a wide range of medical, psychosocial and spiritual support services to help.

In choosing Tidewell, you create a total support system to help manage your advanced illness. As our name suggests, there is an ebb and flow to life, and even in advanced illness, you can maintain a wellness that allows comfort and dignity.

The Tidewell team is expert in comfort care — often what is needed most. Involving you, your family and other caregivers, we create an individualized plan of care designed around patient choice. By empowering you and focusing on quality of life and comfort, hospice care can also positively impact life expectancy. A recent national study published in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management showed that patients on hospice programs live, on average, 29 days longer than patients with similar diagnoses who are not enrolled in hospice.

Accessing the appropriate comfort care at the right time can provide a quality existence, and talking about our views on dying protects, comforts, informs and empowers those we love.

For more than three decades, Tidewell has built a reputation as one of the premier hospices in America. We've done so by providing unique, individualized care for each patient and family.
