Setting

At the beginning of life we are surrounded by comfort and care, at home, don’t we deserve the same at the end?
Nancy was able to look out on her beautiful garden the morning she dies because hospice was there.

• When polled, 67% of Americans say that if they had a choice they would like to die at home. 
   

• Unfortunately, in 2000 of those who died in New York only 16% actually died at home.
   

• While hospice care can be provided anywhere that the patient chooses – the majority of High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care patients are able to die in the place they feel most comfortable surrounded by those they love and who love them with support from the hospice team.
