Spirituality means different things to different people. For some people this may mean religion but for others it may not include faith at all, but rather an interconnectedness with the world. At Envision Hospice, we meet you where you are on your spiritual journey and will walk with you and support you however that means.
Envision Hospice embraces the hospice philosophy and believes in a holistic approach to end-of-life care. This means that the whole body is treated – mind, body, and spirit. Spiritual care is a vital component of health that recognizes the interconnectedness of all dimensions of a person’s well-being as it provides a framework for individuals to find meaning, purpose, and inner peace, ultimately contributing to their overall quality of life. Through our trained spiritual care team, we provide a care plan to help you to find meaning, purpose, and inner peace, as you approach the end of your life’s journey.
Families and loved ones are also key members of your journey at the end of life. Our spiritual care team will also help walk with your loved ones as they care and support you.
Hospice provides a supportive environment where patients can reflect on their lives, come to terms with their mortality, and explore their beliefs and values. We aim to create a space where you can express your fears, doubts, regrets, and hopes, providing validation for your emotions and experiences. Our goal is that this can be a time for introspection, forgiveness, and reconciliation.
Patients often grapple with questions about the meaning and purpose of life, suffering, and death. Our Hospice care team engages in conversations that help you explore these existential questions and find your own answers.
Spiritual needs often involve a desire for companionship, human connection, and a sense of being understood. Our Hospice team is trained to offer you a compassionate presence, which we hope to be deeply comforting in your time of need.
Often people may want to leave behind a legacy. Whether through writing, creating art, or engaging in conversations with loved ones, our Hospice care team fully supports these efforts, helping you find a sense of accomplishment and closure.
Hospice teams often work to accommodate the religious practices and rituals of patients and their families. Our team of Hospice professionals help coordinate visits from your specified clergy. We help provide space and time for prayer or meditation and help facilitate religious ceremonies or sacraments. We understand that many religious traditions may have specific rituals associated with death and dying, and where needed, we help facilitate these rituals. We do everything possible to ensure that you can approach the end of life in a way that aligns with your beliefs.
