Hospice / Palliative Care
Comfort at Every Stage

When facing a serious or terminal illness, comfort, dignity, and quality of life become the most important goals. At Alpine Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation, our hospice and palliative care programs provide compassionate support for patients and families in Ruston, LA during life’s most difficult chapters.
Palliative care can begin right after a diagnosis and focuses on relieving pain, symptoms, and stress while helping patients stay as active as possible. It gives special attention to the emotional and spiritual needs of each patient.
Hospice Care: Dignity and Peace
When curative treatment is no longer the path forward, hospice care focuses on comfort and quality of life in the final stages. Our hospice services address the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of patients as they near the end of life.
Our team is dedicated to preserving dignity and providing comfort. Hospice patients receive nursing, emotional, and pastoral care. Medicare may provide benefits for hospice care in some circumstances.
