Our executive team has over 120 years of healthcare experience and works with
our leadership teams and board of directors to support our caregivers.Harrison’s
Hope knows that hospice care is equally about managing symptoms and addressing
concerns of the patient and supporting and educating families and loved ones. A
longtime employee Kristi Hartway shared, “We have always been very focused on
the families.” Our Testimonials and Blog highlight a number of ways in which we
have worked with patients and families to make final wishes come true. Many
employees of the company have been touched by hospice themselves and truly
understand the hospice benefit. These employees have seen firsthand the value,
special care and services that are provided in the final months of life. Veteran
care has also been a priority for Harrison’s Hope since the very beginning. In
fact, the agency was one of the first hospices in the area to launch a “We Honor
Veterans Program.” Veterans continue to be an important population for
Harrison’s Hope and employees recognize Veterans each month through pinning
ceremonies. specialized plans of care, assistance with Veteran benefits, a
Veteran to Veteran volunteer program and much more. It is your choice to decide
when the time for hospice is right for you. To the extent possible, hospice
emphasizes quality of life and tries to give back to patients their own
independence and control. Individuals who elect hospice care find that every
effort is made to keep them comfortable; allowing them to spend their final
months with their loved ones in the place that they call home. Ideally patients
are referred to hospice when their life expectancy is approximately six months.
Choosing hospice earlier allows the patient and their loved ones to make the
most of their end-of-life journey. The hospice team is always there to guide
them through the process and provide support – neither prolonging life nor
hastening death. Please fill out our contact us form or call us at 208-286-1300
