Silverado Hospice

It is our mission to affirm the cycle of life by enhancing the quality of living for those at the end of life. The Silverado standard is to care compassionately for patients and families and to empower those we serve to have quality of life options that afford them comfort and dignity.

Description:
Description:
Silverado Hospice honors the value of each life by empowering the patient and family to make supported choices in end-of-life care, enhancing comfort, relieving suffering and supporting effective grieving. We believe that Hospice patients have the right to continue life to the fullest extent possible according to their circumstances, and in fostering opportunities for growth and fulfillment. We further recognize patients and family’s decision-making rights in relation to continuing medical treatments and their right to withdraw treatment whose benefits are outweighed by their burdens. Silverado Hospice believes in equal opportunity and non-discrimination for our clients, our associates, and our community.

History:
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 a terminal illness. Hospice emphasizes quality, rather than length of life. Silverado Hospice promotes dignity and emphasizes quality of life for those who choose to die in familiar surroundings with those they love.

Our goals are to:
Help the patient live each day fully and comfortably by providing effective pain control and symptom management
Tailor medical, emotional, and spiritual support to the patient and the family
Comfort the family with personal counseling, resources, and bereavement support

Alzheimer’s and Dementia: All Silverado Hospice associates undergo extensive training in caring for the special needs of patients with Alzheimer’s and Dementia. Families can be confident that their loved one will receive the highest level of respect and care at all times.

History:
Silverado was founded 10 years ago and provides service specializing in patients with Alzheimers/Dementia.

Silverado Hospice began in August 2005 and serves all patients who are eligible for Hospice.
