Located in Denham Springs, Louisiana, and proudly serving Livingston Parish, East Baton Rouge, Tangipahoa and surrounding parish communities, Generations Hospice is dedicated to providing quality, compassionate care to individuals diagnosed with terminal illnesses. Our professionals and volunteers understand the difficulty of such times, and possess the skills, values, and beliefs to assist both patient and family in navigating this life transition. That's why we mean when we say, "From One Generation to Another... Helping Make Transitions in Life".

WHAT IS HOSPICE CARE?
Hospice care involves a team-oriented approach to expert medical care, pain management, and emotional and spiritual support expressly tailored to the patient's needs and wishes during the last six months of life.

Hospice care is based on the recognition that impending death requires a change from curative treatment to palliative care for the terminally ill patient. Palliative care focuses on comfort care and the alleviation of physical, emotional and spiritual suffering. Instead of hospitalization, hospice care focuses on maintaining the terminally ill patient at home with minimal disruptions in normal activities and with as much physical and emotional comfort as possible. However, hospice care can also be provided in hospitals, nursing homes and other long-term care facilities.

Support is extended to the patient's loved ones, as well. At the center of Generations Hospice is the belief that each of us has the right to die pain-free and with dignity, and that our families will receive the necessary support to allow us to do so.
