What Hospice Means
"Hospice" comes from the Latin word for hospitality, hospitium: a word describing the practice of extending warmth and courtesy to guests such as travelers who had fallen ill or otherwise needed a place to stay. To ancient Greeks and Romans, this hospitality was more than good manners; it was a calling based on human dignity and faith which could not be denied.
We too cannot deny this calling. We provide a dedicated team of healthcare professionals and caregivers who deliver ongoing support for both patient and family in familiar surroundings and provide the warmth and courtesy our patients deserve.
Help for Health Hospice is Fremont County's only non-profit and locally-run hospice. Our work focuses on supporting Fremont County clients and communities. We provide exceptional levels of comprehensive and personalized care. Help for Health provides comfort and pain management for our patients. Our hospice care can be provided in the community, providing care in our patients' own homes, assisted-living facilities, and long-term care facilities, or it can be provided in our very own hospice home.
Hospice is specialized care designed to provide comfort and support for individuals with terminal illnesses. Hospice seeks to ease pain and symptoms so patients' remaining time may be spent with dignity. Hospice cares for patients with a life-limiting illnesses. Our services can be provided in the patient's home, Help for Health's in-patient hospice home, in long-term care, or in an assisted living facility.
Hospice neither hastens nor postpones a person's death. Pain management and relief of symptoms such as shortness of breath, diarrhea, constipation, and nausea are its primary goals. We also consider emotional and spiritual needs as significant as physical pain. Addressing all of these concerns is the core goal of hospice care.
