Circle of Caring at Hospice of the Good Shepherd is committed to providing access to skilled, comprehensive, palliative care to all people in our service area with life-limiting illnesses living in their homes, nursing homes, and in assisted living facilities, while also providing support to their families. Our primary goal is to enhance the quality of remaining life, so that those in the last phases of life can live as fully, independently, and comfortably as possible.

Our hospice team consists of caring professionals, including nurses, social workers, medical directors, spiritual care coordinators, a bereavement coordinator, a volunteer coordinator, home health aides, and dedicated community volunteers who provide medical, emotional, and spiritual support to those with a prognosis of six months or less. We are committed to each person’s right to live with dignity and die in peace.

While we are committed to ensuring no-one dies alone – or in pain, we are also committed to ensuring that no-one mourns uncomforted. Knowing that the grieving process can often be complicated and lonely, we remain connected with our clients’ families/caregivers for about a year following the death of their loved ones. We also remain largely committed to providing bereavement support to all members of our community.
