Understanding Peaceful End-of-Life Care
Peaceful end-of-life care focuses on alleviating physical discomfort while addressing emotional, spiritual, and psychological needs. This holistic approach ensures that individuals can spend their remaining time in comfort, surrounded by familiar faces and environments.
Creating a Tranquil Physical Environment
A serene setting can significantly impact a person’s comfort during their final days. At Bright Hope, we prioritize:
