Hospice Care - Niagara Hospice

  Hospice care is appropriate for people with any advanced stage illness, not just cancer, where the prognosis is a life expectancy of approximately six months or less if the illness runs its normal course (strictly Medicaid recipients can receive care up to 12 months under the New York State hospice regulation). Some patients receive hospice care beyond six months. Care is given by an interdisciplinary team of skilled professionals and trained volunteers.

The inpatient wing has 10 suites designed for patients needing short-term medical monitoring and symptom management.
