When Hospice

Patients are eligible for Hospice of Holland once it has been determined that there are no longer curative options for their disease or when the risks of treatment outweigh the gains, and their doctor has estimated the patient’s life expectancy to be months rather than years. Although nothing can be done to cure the disease, a lot can be done to keep the patient comfortable and enhance their quality of life.

Hospice of Holland calls this "The Care for Living." Our patients and families may be dealing with terminal illness but there is still life to be experienced, savored, and enjoyed. Every patient and family has their own idea of what that means to them. Hospice of Holland is here to help make it possible.

The decision to seek Hospice is a reversible one. Patients may discontinue Hospice care at any time.
