The staff at Wabash-Miami Home Healthcare & Hospice recognizes dying as a natural process. In a hospice setting, the entire family serves as caregivers along with our staff. This approach requires that the patient be willing to allow the family to be involved in the provision of care.

In addition to providing necessary medical care, our hospice team will strive to prepare the patient and the family for death and to make the dying process centered on the patient.
