Hospice isn’t always a place. It’s about care at the end of your life. We’re in the business of helping people affected by life and death. The need for hospice or palliative care services marks a change in how patients look at their lives moving forward. Our philosophy is to approach that change as a celebration of life and an opportunity to enjoy the time they have left. That’s how Desert Valley Hospice Society reshapes and improves end-of-life care services in a unique (and even fun) way. The goal of end-of-life care is the same regardless of setting: to ensure the best possible quality of life for clients and their families. We provide compassionate care to people with life-limiting illnesses and their families, and support individuals along their grief journeys.
