 Profile
The mission of Crossroads Hospice is to provide highly competent comprehensive and compassionate hospice services to persons experiencing a life-limiting illness and to their families.
The Board, Officers and all our Employees and Volunteers are committed to excellence in this most important work, and further committed to keeping patients in their home environment, whether that be in their own private residence or in a nursing home.
The term hospice comes from a medieval word meaning a place of shelter for travelers. Today's meaning is a shelter for a traveler who, at the Crossroads of Life, needs personal and professional care.
Hospice is designed to provide a caring environment for the physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of the terminally ill. Care can be provided for the patient, family and friends in their home or a nursing facility without repeated hospital stays.
The goal of Crossroads' Hospice personnel is symptom management and pain control. Hope of remission or cure is never abandoned but the focus is on creating an environment for the patient and family that allows the greatest fulfillment from the remaining days they have to share with each other.
