How to Talk With Your Loved One About Starting Hospice
November 2, 2025
One of the most difficult steps for families is opening the conversation: “Is it time to consider hospice care?” At Onora Hospice Care, we understand
At Onora Hospice Care, we believe that every life deserves to be honored, every moment to be cherished, and every family to be supported with grace.
Onora Hospice Care emphasizes that “every life deserves to be honored.” The focus is on moment quality as much as end-of-life care, which can distinguish it in a field where many providers focus largely on medical management.This compassionate, human-centered approach.
Being locally rooted in the community means they can offer more responsive service, potentially better continuity and familiarity with local care settings (home, assisted living, etc.). For families wanting a provider with strong local presence and accessibility, this is a real advantage.
Our agency sees the family unit as part of the care circle—acknowledging the emotional, spiritual and relational dimensions of hospice care. A provider that explicitly names families as key recipients of support often brings extra value in bereavement & caregiver relief.
When someone you love is nearing the end of life, the world can suddenly feel uncertain, heavy, and full of questions.
At Onora Hospice Care, our purpose is to help lift that weight — providing compassionate, comprehensive care that brings peace, comfort, and dignity to your loved one and your entire family.
Hospice is not about giving up — it’s about choosing comfort, presence, and love. It’s about making the most of every day, surrounded by people who understand and care.
Our team is made up of experienced nurses, aides, chaplains, social workers, volunteers, and medical professionals who share one mission: to ensure that your loved one’s final chapter is written with warmth, respect, and meaning.
Whether your loved one is at home, in an assisted living community, or a nursing facility, we bring care directly to them — wherever they feel most at peace.
Heartfelt Connection: We take the time to truly know your loved one — their story, their preferences, their values — so that every moment of care feels personal and familiar.
Comfort-Focused Expertise: Our clinicians specialize in managing pain and symptoms with skill and compassion, ensuring your loved one’s comfort at all times.
24/7 Support: Questions and crises don’t follow business hours — neither do we. Our nurses are always a phone call away, day or night.
