Physical setting:
We started serving in 2004 as Supreme Home Care, specializing in wound care and other in-home services that require skilled nursing. We were asked to provide hospice care as well and have finally begun doing so. We have always focused on excellent in-home care, so this was a natural step.
After going through the experience of needing hospice care for both my mother and mother-in-law two years ago, I know what the most important things are for hospice care.
- First, both moms wanted their care to be in their homes as long as possible. That meant a lot of supports were needed to be put in place.
- Second, they wanted to be treated with love and dignity by those supports.
- Third, they wanted as little pain and suffering as possible.
We have now included doing business as “In My Home Hospice Care” because that has always been our number one focus, providing “in-home” care. We want you to feel comfortable while receiving the best care in town, and in this regard, we spare no expense.
