Sun Valley Hospice provides comprehensive, compassionate care for persons with a life-limiting condition or illness. Our interdisciplinary team uses a holistic approach to promote the patient's comfort and dignity. Recognizing the family as the unit of care, we support patient, family and caregivers by addressing physical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs. Care is provided wherever the patient lives; including the patient's own home, residential care homes, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living or independent living facility.
Volunteers also help provide care to our patients and their families and are vital to our services. If you have a desire to volunteer, please contact us.
