When you are seriously ill, it's important to be in a place where you feel secure, comforted and cared for-relieved of pain and distress. You want to be surrounded by dedicated, capable, compassionate professionals. Arbor Hospice has been providing quality service and compassionate care to the terminally ill and their families throughout the region since 1984. We are committed to providing help to families and enabling individuals to complete their lives with dignity, in comfort and at peace. Patients and their families are educated, prepared and supported every step of the way. Through our adult and children's bereavement programs, Arbor Hospice offers a comprehensive range of counseling and support services to anyone who has suffered a loss. At Arbor Hospice, we believe no person should face the end of life alone. Everyone has the right to spend his or her final months free of physical, emotional and spiritual pain. By providing exceptional medical care with compassion, and caregiver support we help families get back to what is important
to them.

There are many misconceptions about hospice care, and understanding the facts can make a meaningful difference for individuals and families facing serious illness. We invite you to take a closer look at some common myths and the truth behind them.

❌ Myth: Hospice is a place.
✔️ Fact: Hospice is not a place. It is a program of care and support that comes to you, wherever you live.

❌ Myth: Hospice is only for elderly people.
✔️ Fact: Hospice services are available to individuals of any age with a life-limiting illness.

❌ Myth: Hospice can only help when family members are available to provide care.
✔️ Fact: Hospice helps coordinate community resources and professional support to make care at home possible for many patients.

❌ Myth: Hospice is for people with no hope.
✔️ Fact: Hospice is about a different kind of hope. Hope for comfort, dignity, and meaningful time with loved ones.

❌ Myth: Hospice is only for cancer patients.
✔️ Fact: Hospice supports individuals with many terminal illnesses, including end-stage heart disease, kidney disease, memory loss, and more.

Learning the facts can help you make informed, compassionate choices. If you or someone you love has questions about hospice, we are here to help.

Jo Elyn Nyman Anchors Programs for Children exist for one reason: to support children and families facing a potentially life-limiting illness.

Whether we’re offering a child the comfort of a pediatric nurse, supporting a family’s unique needs, or extending emotional support to loved ones, we never stop finding ways to care. Following a not-for-profit mission to serve all, no matter what, we’re more than a symbol of support. We’re an anchor when it’s needed most.

Caregivers are the steady presence behind every moment of care.

They are spouses, children, friends, and loved ones who show up each day with patience, strength, and compassion. While their work often happens quietly, the impact is profound.

One family shared this reflection of gratitude:
“Sometimes in life, there are no words that can convey deep feelings. Thank you to all who participated in providing care. Loving thanks!”

Hospice care is appropriate when curative treatments are no longer effective, and the burden of the disease or condition becomes too much to bear for the patient and family. By providing relief from physical and emotional pain, patients and their loved ones can make the most of their remaining time.

Two of the most prevalent indicators that signal it’s time to contact Arbor Hospice are:

🌿 When the focus of treatment changes from curing the illness to maximizing quality of life.

🌿 When pain is not well-controlled or easily managed, and routine activities, such as walking, eating, bathing, and dressing, have become difficult.
