WELCOME
Welcome to Essence of Life Hospice! We provide end of life care for patients and their families.
Please use this website as a hospice resource regardless of whether you use our services or not. You will find we:
- answer many questions about hospice care,
- describe our philosophy of care,
- discuss the types of services and therapies we provide,
- and offer educational and other events for the community.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to provide comprehensive coordinated care to individuals with life limiting illnesses and to their families and to support them in the process of death and bereavement.
We provide a plan of treatment customized to meet individual patient and family needs and are locally owned and operated. Our goal is to provide palliative care that addresses the physical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of service for the terminally ill as an integrated whole.
OUR SERVICES
Serving the counties of Tama, Benton, Linn, Poweshiek, Iowa, Johnson, Keokuk and Washington, we provide locally based staff who can respond quickly when you need it.
In addition to medical care, we also offer spiritual, social, and emotional care for the entire family. Our skilled staff can help you and your family make important decisions with grace and dignity, recognizing that the focus of a person’s life is not their disease, but their essence.
