Extended Stays & Hospice Care

Aging is not an illness; it is a natural progression that begins at birth and continues throughout life. While physical health may change due to an acute illness or medical condition, an individual’s personality, emotions, values, and life experiences often remain unchanged. These shared histories and relationships with family, friends, and the community are central to who we are. Recognizing and honoring these dynamics is an integral part of the care and support provided at Marywood Nursing Care Center.

Following skilled nursing and rehabilitation services, some residents may require additional time to safely meet their care goals or may transition to hospice services. Any extended stay is determined on a case by case basis, guided by individual clinical needs, care goals, and physician recommendations. For residents requiring this level of ongoing support, Marywood Nursing Care Center provides a patient centered care model and individualized treatment plan, guided by the Felician Sisters’ commitment to the Gospel values of compassion and service, with a focus on dignity, comfort, and the highest attainable level of independence.

Hospice Care

Hospice care is a compassionate, patient centered approach that supports individuals and families during the end of life journey. Hospice focuses on comfort, dignity, and quality of life, emphasizing care for the individual rather than treatment of the illness.

Marywood Nursing Care Center partners with selected hospice providers to deliver hospice services in a private, supportive environment. This collaborative, interdisciplinary approach honors the hospice philosophy while ensuring residents receive attentive, respectful care. Family members, caregivers, and friends are encouraged to remain actively involved and spend meaningful time with their loved ones throughout the hospice experience.

Words can't begin to express how we appreciated the loving care given to our dad and grandfather during his two-year stay. We know he could be difficult at times but you all continued with grace and laughter. You are truly like an extended family.
