Amara Hospice is not freedom from the storm, but peace amid the storm. Sometimes in life there are no simple solutions, only balanced and wise choices. When someone is struggling with terminal illness, they and the family members who are assisting them need to decide how to best cope with the situation. At Amara Hospice Care, we believe that an individual dealing with a life-limiting illness should be made as comfortable and peaceful as possible, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The Amara mission is to alleviate pain and symptoms; foster a state of calmness and harmony; and encourage an appreciation of family, friends, and life experiences.
