“Words do not adequately express the appreciation and gratitude we have for each of you. Your genuine interest and tender care to our Mom will always be remembered. You were our angels. Thank you.”

"If I could do anything different, it would be to have hospice earlier."
(most frequent quote from patients and families)

The goal of hospice care is to help you maintain comfort, safety and self-direction, surrounded by the warm and supportive presence of your loved ones. At Southern Tier Hospice and Palliative Care, we treat the whole person, with an emphasis on quality of life.

“Our assistance is not about replacing the patient’s support system, it is directed towards helping family and friends get the skills and support they need to care for loved ones at home”…hospice staff members

For more than 28 years, our specially trained professional health care team has been providing care and support to people with advanced and progressive illness in Schuyler, Steuben, and Chemung counties. Our services are available to individuals with a life expectancy of approximately six months or less regardless of diagnosis, age, sex, race, religion or ability to pay. We're here for you and your family, and we want you to take advantage of all the services that you are entitled to.

Our Advanced Illness Team encourages you to talk to us at any stage of your illness and treatment regardless of prognosis so that you will have information you need to make informed decisions; and to assist you in accessing the help that is available from community resources.
