Hospice Care
Approaching the End of Life with Dignity and Comfort
With advances in medicine prolonging our lifespans, more and more seniors in greater Phoenix, and around the U.S., are passing away in hospitals or nursing homes, environments that may not be consistent with their wishes. Of course, we often do not have the luxury of deciding where and how we pass away; however, if given the choice, most people would instead prefer to die peacefully and comfortably at home, surrounded by their family and friends. With hospice services, Phoenix seniors and their caregivers can approach end-of-life care with dignity and peace.
What is Hospice Care?
Hospice is a form of care for people with terminal illnesses that focuses on making them as comfortable as possible and supporting their loved ones during this difficult time. Hospice care in the Phoenix metropolitan area can take place at home or in inpatient settings such as a hospice facility, hospital, or nursing home. In inpatient settings, hospice is provided by a team of medical professionals such as doctors, nurses, social workers, and chaplains. In the home, day-to-day hospice care is delivered by family or friends, with guidance or respite support from visiting healthcare professionals that are available at any time. Regardless of the setting, hospice care provides for the medical, emotional, and spiritual support of the person who is dying and their loved ones.

What families say
David P was amazing. He dove head in my difficult situation with a sister who is just 68 with dementia and in full denial. He was kind and warm while she was rude and stoic. He even repeated a tour after she could not remember going. He even went to visit her to check on her with his warmth and kindness. I am very lucky that Barrow’s recommended him.
Integrity Senior Placement is outstanding! David and Reina consistently go above and beyond, placing residents in my assisted living home with great care and thoughtfulness. What truly sets them apart is their follow-up to ensure both the client and their family are well cared for. A true partner in senior care!
We were fortunate to receive a referral to Integrity Senior Placement to help us find assisted living for Mom. Thanks to Reina and David’s guidance and support, the perfect place was found. Integrity listened to our family’s needs and wants and arranged visits to assisted living places. There was never any pressure, only compassion. It was comforting to know we didn’t have to go through this process alone. Once settled in her new home, Integrity followed up with phone calls and a home visit to Mom to make sure she was doing well and happy with her new place. Integrity truly lives up to their name and reputation. We are so thankful Integrity was on our side.
David helped me find an assisted living group home on short notice for my uncle who was in a SNF for rehab. He made himself available to show some homes so quickly and was very kind to us. He explained the process to my uncle and everything worked out very well.
