Sentara Hospice Services

Support and compassion when it matters most

Every hospice journey is unique. At Sentara, our hospice care is built around compassion, comfort and respect for patients and their loved ones. Whether you’re exploring care options or seeking support, we’re here to guide you as you navigate this phase of an illness.

What is hospice?
Hospice is a care model designed to provide comfort and support to patients and their loved ones when a life-limiting illness no longer responds to cure-oriented treatments. Hospice care neither prolongs life nor hastens death. 

For loved ones caring for a patient, the care and comfort provided by the Sentara hospice team make a remarkable difference in reducing stress and anxiety during this time.

Rest assured, hospice care does not mean “giving up” on a loved one. We’ll help you better understand the benefits of hospice, including support for:

• Medical needs
• Emotional/Spiritual needs
  
• Caregiver support

As part of the larger Sentara network, our hospice services are deeply integrated into a comprehensive continuum of care, making the healthcare journey easier, more coordinated and more personalized for patients and their families. Sentara Hospice Services is here with the care you need from people who genuinely care.
