Alliance Health Services Inc

Our largest community initiattive is the operation of the hospice residence. A free-standing hospice residence with 30 beds on six acres is part of alliance health services, inc. Since 1979, methodist hospice has provided compassionate care and support to individuals and their families who are facing life's final journey. As one of the first hospice works to help ease the end-of-life transition for over 150 families in the mid-south every day. We've built a place-- a home, so full of light, love and compassion that it spills outside and touches everything that surrounds it. It is a place like home for those with a short time to live and a place for families and friends to share in the last days of a loved one's life. Our residence represents the very best care at the end of life--the very best of us as human beings. It is our work made real and visible there may come a time when the care of the patient is too difficult to manage in the home, or the patient has no home to go to - that is where the methodist hospice residence can help. Built to function as a hospital, with the look and feel of a home, the residence can meet most patients' needs when care in the home is no longer possible. Our residence includes these unique features: - comforts from home are encouraged: photos, bedding, personal mementos, etc. - beds may be wheeled outside to the garden - views of the walking paths and gardens abound for those who cannot go outside - 30 bedrooms, five of which are equipped to care for infants and children - private baths and comfortable surroundings in each bedroom - 24-hour open access for family, friends and pets to visit the methodist hospice residence makes it possible to provide a place where patients can embrace life to the fullest and have the dignity they deserve during their final stage of life.
