Silverado Hospice
Silverado Hospice exists in the hope and belief that through effective, compassionate care, patients can approach the end of their lives with dignity and comfort in the midst of a caring environment sensitive to their needs. We do this by helping our patients achieve physical and emotional comfort so they can concentrate on living life as fully as possible. Silverado Hospice is dedicated to the belief that no one who has a life-limiting illness should die alone, afraid or in pain. Hospice provides peace, comfort and caring to terminally ill people and their families. Hospice treats the person, not the disease. Hospice is a philosophy of care that assists patients, families, and friends during the final stages of life's journey. We focus on the quality of LIFE because, at Silverado, Hospice is about living.
