Although hospice is often misunderstood as care just for cancer patients, we care for patients with a broad range of diagnoses, including heart and lung disease, AIDS, renal failure, ALS and end-stage Alzheimer’s. Any disease with a predictable prognosis of six months or less is within our admission criteria.
Tidewell pays tribute to the principles that distinguish hospice from other types of health care providers:
-Holistic care
-A team of professionals serving every family
-An in-home centered philosophy
-A patient and family focus
-Cost-effectiveness
