Our Team
Haracaine, RN
Visiting Nurse
"The end of life is inevitable and it is never easy, but I believe that there is such a thing as a "good death". In hospice, we help terminally ill patients die with dignity and without pain. Many people think that hospice is the most emotionally difficult field to work in. For me, it is a very humbling job. I get to care for people at the end of their life and can help them achieve their final wishes and goals. I stand with their families during the most difficult part of life's journey. For me, hospice nursing is not a career, it is a calling."
Lyka, LPN
Intake
"I’ve always enjoyed working in a line of work where I can take care of and nurture others. Being able to give others support whether it be: physically, emotionally, and/or spiritually. Helping others and taking care of individuals and their families and insuring their happiness makes all the hard work worthwhile. I am honored to be a part of a wonderful team such as Hope Hospice, where I’m surrounded by others who share my same passion.”

""Hospice care focuses on preserving quality of life while maintaining dignity and worth of an individual. As part of an interdisciplinary team with Hope Hospice, I'm honored to provide support and guidance to individuals and their families through their most vulnerable time.
"Everyday at Hope Hospice, I meet patients who may be in the final stage of their lives. It’s my goal to make sure all my patients are given the best care, make them feel as comfortable as possible and be there wholeheartedly in their time of need. I’m also thankful to be a part of an amazing team that has the same core values, everyone is a pleasure to work with. This job is truly rewarding in so many ways."
Fr. Cesar, MDiv DMin
Chaplain
"At Hope Hospice, we firmly believe in the healing power of prayer. As stewards of your health, we not only look for physical means to treat what ails you, but also to spiritual and supernatural means to receive healing, comfort, and peace."
Rupal
Senior Care Specialist
"The team at Hope is exceptional. I take huge pride in talking to doctors and social workers about the quality of care and the level of commitment that each of the Hope team members offers to patients and family members."
Rosemarie, BSN RN
Agency Supervisor
"I believe in Hospice because it enables you to live each day to the fullest as comfortably and dignified as possible. Hospice emphasis is quality of life and comfort. Hospice does not cause death. Disease causes death. Hospice does allow death to occur in its normal, natural time frame in the most humane, non suffering manner possible."
David
Spiritual Support Volunteer
"Hospice provides comfort, support, meaning, and dignity to both patients and their loved ones- and does so at a time when they feel most vulnerable and afraid. To provide light during this seemingly darkest of times is the greatest gift that I can give to another human being. That is why I believe in our hospice mission."
Maria, BSCH RN
Administrator
"Having been a hospice nurse for over 15 years, I believe that there is no greater way to help people than to provide care and comfort to their cherished loved ones when end of life draws near. We have worked hard to assemble a TEAM of like-minded individuals who will put our patients and families before themselves in order to make a difficult and uncomfortable experience smoother."
