From Barbara Hurst, Caregiver:
When my mother-in-law needed hospice care, we called IPH for information. They came the next day to evaluate the situation and thankfully recognized the seriousness of my mother-in-law’s need for hospice care.
It has been such a relief and blessing to know that our loved one is getting the close attention she needs. The nurses and caretakers are caring, friendly, and most of all medically competent. Since signing my mother-in-law up with IPH, she has made surprisingly positive strides in her quality of life.
We are so thankful and appreciative of the superb hospice care she has received. I would recommend IPH to anyone who is looking for home health or hospice care.

What is Hospice Care?
Hospice emphasizes comfort rather than curative treatment; quality rather than quantity of life. Professional medical care is given, and symptom relief provided. Both the patient and family are included in the care plan. Emotional, spiritual and practical support is given based on the patient's wishes and family's needs.
Hospice affirms life and regard dying as a normal process.
The nature of dying is so unique that the goal of the hospice team is to be sensitive and responsive to the special requirements of each individual and family.
Who qualifies for Hospices?
Hospice care is provided to patients who have a limited life expectancy. Although most hospice patients are cancer patients, hospices accept anyone regardless of age or type of illness. These patients have also made a decision to spend their last months at home or in a homelike setting.
