NEHHC often provides for the needs of the last stages of life for terminally ill clients. It is a difficult, often bittersweet, period of life, and we do our utmost to make this time as comfortable as possible for both the client and family. While often interchanged for end-of-life care, the term “hospice” actually refers to a philosophy of providing the least amount of technology necessary to terminally ill clients and neither hastening nor extending life. New England Home Health Care does not adhere to a particular philosophy about end of life issues, other than providing excellent, professional in-home care according to the client’s and family’s wishes.
