Narrative

Coping with the pressures of a serious illness can be difficult for both the patient and their loved ones. With VNA Care you don’t have to go through it alone. Every member of the VNA Hospice & Palliative Care team is here to listen, answer your questions, and help.

Approach to care

Hospice is a specialized, team-based approach to caring for people with a life-limiting illness, their family, and caregivers. Hospice focuses on quality of life so that life can be lived as fully as possible, preserving dignity and respecting personal choice. The hospice staff work as a team with the person, family, and caregivers to maximize physical comfort, provide emotional support, and assist in the pursuit of goals for this time. We work to fulfill the words of Cicely Saunders, the founder of modern hospice care:

 VNA Hospce Care accepts patients with Medicare, Medicaid/Mass Health, most commercial insurances and has a free care program for patients with no insurance.
