WELCOME

 

 

We believe that . . .

Quality of life is as important as length of life

Every moment is precious

Every day can be a gift

"Freedom from pain" and "death with dignity" are both attainable goals

A measure of peace can be part of the dying process  

 

Our mission

The Vi and Milton Weinstein Hospice reflects the traditional Jewish concern for the dignity and uniqueness of each human life. Our mission is to provide comfort and the highest quality of care to adults confronting life limiting illness by offering these individuals and their families spiritual, emotional and physical support.

Our experienced team of healthcare professionals and trained volunteers are dedicated to alleviating pain and managing symptoms that interfere with the quality of living.


The goal is to provide comfort and care, not cure.

Referrals

Referrals may come from any source. The patient’s physician must approve and sign the hospice admission. Acceptance into hospice is based on the patient’s medical eligibility and the understanding, desire and need of the patient/family for hospice care as reviewed and determined by the hospice admission team.

In the event Weinstein Hospice does not best meet the patient’s need, referral to the appropriate agency will be suggested.

For more information, please call 404-352-4308.


Payment

Medicare and most private insurance plans have a hospice benefit.  However, we will provide care regardless of ability to pay.
