THAT CARE IS PROVIDED BY INTERDISCIPLINARY GROUPS OF CONCERNED PEOPLE WHO INCLUDE PHYSICIANS, NURSES, SOCIAL WORKERS, SPIRITUAL COUNSELORS AND VOLUNTEERS.

THERE MUST BE AT LEAST ONE INDIVIDUAL IN THE HOUSEHOLD WILLING TO HELP PROVIDE CARE AND ASSISTANCE TO THE PATIENT.

HOSPICE RECOGNIZES DYING AS A NORMAL PROCESS OF LIFE. HOSPICE IS A POSITIVE SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR THOSE IN THE LAST STAGES OF TERMINAL ILLNESS AND THEIR FAMILIES. HOSPICE NEITHER HASTENS NOR POSTPONES DEATH, RATHER, IT PROMOTES THE CONCEPT OF COMFORT, DIGNITY AND RESPECT FOR ALL PERSONS UNTIL THE MOMENT OF DEATH. HOSPICE BELIEVES THAT THE PERSON WHO IS DYING HAS THE RIGHT TO THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE QUALITY OF LIFE CONSISTENT WITH THE INDIVIDUAL'S LIFESTYLE AND VALUE SYSTEM. THIS QUALITY OF LIFE CAN BE ACHIEVED THROUGH A CONTINUOUS, COMPREHENSIVE, MULTIDISCIPLINARY HEALTH CARE PROGRAM WHICH ENCOMPASSES THE TOTAL NEED OF THE PERSON - PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, SPIRITUAL, AND SOCIAL - AND WHICH PROMOTES ATTAINMENT OF MAXIMUM LIFE QUALITY.

THE HOSPICE CONCEPT OF CARE RELIES ON THE BELIEF THAT EACH PATIENT NEEDS INDIVIDUALIZED QUALITY CARE, HENCE THE NEED FOR SYSTEMATIC PLANNING OF CARE TO SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS. PLANNING AND DELIVERY OF SERVICES WILL BE CARRIED OUT WITH A TEAM APPROACH. AN INTERDISCIPLINARY CORE GROUP OF PROFESSIONALS INCLUDING A PHYSICIAN, A REGISTERED NURSE, A MEDICAL SOCIAL WORKER AND A PASTORAL OR SPIRITUAL COUNSELOR SERVE TO ADDRESS THESE NEEDS, CALLING UPON OTHER SERVICES, THERAPIES, VOLUNTEERS AND DISCIPLINES AS APPROPRIATE. THE INTERDISCIPLINARY GROUP WILL OVERSEE FOUR LEVELS OF PATIENT CARE, WHICH INCLUDE ROUTINE HOME CARE, CONTINUOUS HOME CARE, INPATIENT CARE AND INPATIENT RESPITE CARE. THE HOSPICE CONCEPT IS, HOWEVER, PREDOMINANTLY A HOME HEALTH CARE PROGRAM OF SERVICES. EMPHASIS IS GIVEN TO EDUCATING THE PATIENT AND FAMILY ABOUT THE ILLNESS, ITS SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT, PAIN CONTROL AND THE GRIEVING PROCESS. HOSPICE CARE ENCOMPASSES THE ENTIRE FAMILY UNIT AS WELL AS THE PATIENT AND IS PRIMARILY ORIENTED TO CARE BEING PROVIDED IN THE HOME ENVIRONMENT. THE OVERALL GOAL OF HOSPICE IS TO HELP ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND THE INDIVIDUAL'S DIGNITY AND CONTROL OF HIS OR HER CARE AS MUCH AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE IN THE FINAL MONTHS AND DAYS OF LIFE.

• THE MARQUETTE HOSPICE HOUSE IS LOCATED IN A RURAL SCENIC AREA NORTH OF MEADVILLE. IT PROVIDES SUPPORT FOR UP TO THREE HOSPICE PATIENTS AT A TIME WHO DO NOT HAVE ADEQUATE SUPPORT AT HOME FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING. HOSPICE NURSES CONTINUE TO MAKE REGULAR VISITS TO PROVIDE CARE IN THE HOSPICE HOUSE BUT THE FACILITY IS ALSO STAFFED 24 X 7 BY A LICENSED PRACTICAL NURSE WHO CAN PROVIDE ASSISTANCE WITH MEDICATIONS, MEALS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING. THE FACILITY FEATURES INDOOR AND OUTDOOR PLACES FOR FRIENDS, FAMILY MEMBERS AND OTHERS TO VISIT WITH THE HOSPICE PATIENTS.

As filed on the 2023 return.

Officers and directors · 2023

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
