What does it mean to be a Pet Visitor?
Do you have dog who loves attention and is well behaved? Our pet visitors are popular with our patients and bring unmeasurable amounts of joy and peace.

Optage Hospice specializes in provide comfort care services to people experiencing dementia in the end stages of life.
