Hospice offers a comprehensive program of care to patients and families who are facing a terminal illness with a prognosis of less than six months. Patients determine with their family and physician whether they’d like to begin hospice care. Hospice emphasizes comforting, rather than curative treatment. Oaklawn Hospice provides a comprehensive healthcare program to meet the physical, emotional, spiritual, and social needs of persons with life-limiting conditions as well as their families. Because Hospice is a philosophy of care and not a place, it is provided wherever the patient lives; at home, in a nursing home, or in any accommodation or shelter. Oaklawn Hospice provides services in Calhoun, Branch, Eaton, Hillsdale, Jackson and St. Joseph counties.
