Providers We Love

We are privileged to have received referrals from and be able to coordinate care with many Assisted Living facilities, rehab facilities, and Medicare Home Care and Hospice agencies. Our growth is in large part due to the trust the staff in these organizations have put in our caregivers. We are likewise impressed with them and we are committed to referring to them on a regular basis

A Touch for All Seasons-Uses a person centered approach to improve quality of life through meaningful sensory activities that stimulate the senses, promotes relaxation, and offers comfort and serenity to those living with dementia and other diseases.

Leaving A Legacy- offers people the opportunity to share important stories, family traditions or messages of love via audio or video recordings

Music Therapy- Seasons Hospice has more Certified Music Therapists on its staff than any other hospice in the nation. Even when people are no longer conscious or speaking, we console and comfort them with music. Research has shown that music is the last sense that registers with a dying patient. It is especially helpful in connecting people to happy memories of the past, reducing anxiety, and communicating with people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

The Seasons Hospice care team is available 24 hours a day by phone to answer questions or assist with a referral.
