Hope Hospice, a locally owned, community based leading hospice located in the heart of St. Louis strives to provide an assortment of personalized services, compassionate care and expert pain management to people nearing the end of their lives. Hospice care is family focused, physician driven care for those with life-threatening illnesses and their loved ones. Hope Hospice, Inc. specializes in physical, emotional, spiritual and psychosocial care for persons with a prognosis of six months or less to live.

Hospice care neither prolongs life nor hastens death. Our specialized team of health care professionals and volunteers provide comfort and support to patients and families when a life-limiting illness no longer responds to cure-oriented treatments. Hope Hospice staff continually strives to offer the highest level of skill and knowledge on end-of-life issues.

Through exceptional care and support, Hope Hospice assists every patient in living life to the fullest, therefore, allowing their loved ones to continue living after their loss. We take great pride in providing services that reflect the individual needs of each community we serve.

To all Hope Hospice Staff-
Just want to thank you all (Especially Kristy & April who had direct care of my mother) for your kindness to mom and wonderful care. Everything was in fast forward speed after I called you and I guess I didn't realize how close to heaven mom really was. I am now gaining strength from God to move on without mom as she would want me to do. You will all always be in my prayers that all your clients receive God's love by your touch the way we experienced it. I love you forever.
- Judy & Harold

Vera, Allison, Sarah & Deb,
We want to thank you for all the TLC you provided Dorothy through the many months she was under your care. Needless to say, each of you touched her life in your own special way... Vera, in your ability to calm her fears regarding her physical condition; Allison, in the gentle and kind way you bathed her and took the time to do the little things she needed done; Sarah, in the love of life you willingly shared with her. Your vivacious expression of life was an encouragement and strength to her; and Deb, your thoughtfulness and concern for her needs was a comfort. Again, thank you all for the TLC you gave. We know it's your job but what Dorothy received from each of you was above and beyond a nice job. - Claude & Karen

Hope Hospice & Staff,
Thank you so much for your professional service and your warm and kind expression of sympathy on my wife's home going. I'm eternally grateful. - Henry

Dearest Carl & Hope Team,
We usually send sympathy cards to deceased loved ones, however, in the case of Alice, the circumstances are a little different. Hope Hospice really was her "family" and you all went above and beyond in her care. She was a wonderful woman and will be greatly missed.
- The Friends of Beauvais Manor

Your staff and chaplain were a great comfort to me in my hours of greatest sorrow. I shall remember and reflect upon those days when my family and I needed the strength and support to see us through. You were all there for us. - Mary

To all at Hope Hospice,
I want to thank all the nurses, aides and staff who over the past few months have cared for my mom, Clara. Knowing that mom was getting extra care from hospice helped a lot. I also want to thank Chaplain Wilson for all his visits to my mom and the kind words he said to me the day before my mom died. You all performed your job with a sense of compassion and grace which will never be forgotten by me or my family. Blessings to you all.
- Nancy

Our deep appreciation for the exceptional care given to our father. Your experience and knowledge gave us peace of mind that he wasn't in pain. Your fast service in nurses attending and medicine promptly delivered made a very trying time bearable. Our family extends it's thanks in allowing us to keep our father at home as it was his fondest wish. - Margaret, Ken, Frank & John

Dear Staff,
Thank you hardly seems appropriate enough. I sincerely don't have all the words to express how we feel about the concern and affection you have shown us through dad's stay on Hope Hospice. I appreciate everyone's love, prayers and well wishes, but your unending giving of your time and encouragement have been overwhelming. Please know that I offer my most heartfelt appreciation and love to each and everyone of you. Thank you for playing such a tremendous part in my dad's life.
- Peg & Don

To All at Hope Hospice,
Laura and I want to let you know that the wonderful care that your organization showed to mom was a very special gift to us. We had no idea that your organization could be such an important part of the care of our mother. We are so very appreciative of what you did! - Roger & Laura

Dear Laura,
My gratitude and thanks to your wonderful team of special ladies. Vera who was the first to take care of Harold and then the dream team; Helen, Patty and Erika. I grew to love Helen, Patty and Erika as I watched them care so beautifully and lovingly towards my husband. Patience, compassion and empathy were constant as they nursed him, bathed him and massaged him. God bless these wonderful ladies who I shall never forget. - Irene

Thank you to all of you who guided and helped us along this great journey of faith with my mother, Kay. And although her time in hospice was short, the experience was so very beautiful. Thank you for all you taught me about death, but especially thank you for all you did to make my mom's final journey so beautiful. - Marianne

To all the staff of Hope Hospice,
Thank you all so very much for the wonderful care and concern that you showed to my mother in her last days and for attending her funeral. You are all truly special people and we are thankful that you were brought into our lives.- Christina & Gene

To those who cared for our mother during her last days with us, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your care not only eased our mother's comfort but eased our concerns for her well-being. You are guardian angels and we thank you again.
- Daughters of Florence
