If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain;
Or help one fainting robin into his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

The Hospice Experience
Hospice care is person centered and compassionate, taking into consideration the unique way that each individual approaches death. We are aware that the dying process is as unique as the individual experiencing it. Hospice care is provided by compassionate, end-of-life trained staff. We provide care and support as well as pain and symptom management along with assistance in decision making. Our passion is to meet the desires of both patient and family with spiritual, emotional and social support. The end-of-life nursing team at Valley View Nursing Center considers it an honor and a privilege to be a part of, and share in, the very personal and emotional experience of the dying process - both with the patient and the family.

Palliative Care When you or your loved one faces a serious disease, we offer the services of Palliative Care. This is an interdisciplinary team approach that concentrates on reducing the severity of disease symptoms to provide relief from suffering.
