Expert care & support from the specialists in symptom management & comfort for Niagara County residents facing end-of-life situations.
Services
Since 1988, Niagara Hospice has been privileged to serve more than 27,000 Niagara County residents and their families.
Thanks to a dedicated and hard-working staff, volunteer corps and partners in care, Niagara Hospice has evolved to meet the increasing needs of the seriously ill and their families.
Hospice care is appropriate for people with any advanced stage illness, not just cancer, where the prognosis is a life expectancy of approximately 6 months or less - if the illness were to run its normal course. Some patients receive hospice care beyond 6 months. In fact, studies show that people with end-of-life illnesses who choose hospice care often live longer than patients who do not elect hospice services.*
