• When curative treatment is no longer an option
• When the emphasis changes to comfort, symptom control, and enhancing the quality of life.
• When patients begin to realize and accept that they are not going to get well. Patients may know this before others do. Haven Hospice counselors are available to support patients and families as they reach this awareness.
• When a physician thinks hospice can help.
• When grief support is needed, whether the loss is caused by an illness, accident or lifestyle choice.
• When your child grieves a loss and needs help finding joy in life.
• When you or a loved one are facing a serious, life-changing illness and need direction and support.

Timely referrals are important. The helpful staff at the Haven Hospice Customer Service Center can direct you to the appropriate program. Members of the Haven Hospice care team can be most helpful when they have time to build a trusting relationship with patients and their loved ones before the situation becomes critical. Haven Hospice's goal is helping people maximize life, regardless of where they are in their lives.

We often hear people say, “We wish we had known about Haven Hospice sooner,” “We didn’t know you did so much,” and “We could not have done it without you.”
