Support & Comfort beyond treatment

We help patients and their families manage life with a serious or chronic illness. As a nonprofit, community-based healthcare service, our goal is simple: your highest quality of life.

Like your curative care, hospice and palliative care are both provided by a team of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare specialists. The similarities include:

Helping patients manage symptoms.
Understand treatment options.
Meet goals of care.
Navigate the complicated healthcare system.
Identify needs and direction of additional resources for spiritual or emotional care.

Palliative care is very similar to hospice care. The difference is that palliative care is available at any stage of a patient’s chronic or serious illness. Patients receiving palliative care can also still continue to receive curative treatment.

I have nothing but the best things to say about Arkansas Hospice. They were so good to my Dad before he passed away. The love and care, compassion they showed to my dad was priceless. The nurses and CNA’s that took care of my Dad are the best and always be the best.

The skilled and professional care and attention your team gave our mother made it possible for Mom to be granted her wish to die comfortably at home.

We are just starting our dad’s final journey and Arkansas Hospice has been a blessing. They’ve taught us so much already and provide as much support and comfort to the family as they do my dad. I’m grateful they’ll be walking this final path with us.

Arkansas Hospice took care of my Mom before she passed. It was my first experience with any hospice and I was amazed. They took such great care of her. They treated her with dignity and respect until the end.
