Bridgeway Healthcare and Hospice - our team members focus on the individualized needs of the patient and their loved ones, offering them several choices.

We provide services in: Homes, Nursing Facilities, Assisted Living    Facilities, or Independent Living Facilities. 

Our Services

Hospice is a program of care for terminally ill persons which helps families take care of their loved ones at home, allowing that loved one to pass peacefully, with dignity, among family and friends. Many people feel anxious about caring for a terminally ill person at home. You may have no experience in this kind of personal care, or perhaps you have worked in the medical field but find the care a challenge. Our hospice program was developed to assist and support patients and families through this experience.

  

Bridgeway offers many services which include, but are not limited to:

     My goal is to provide a Way to 

Bridge comfort with dignity for those individuals and their loved ones who are approaching end of life.

The care and service offered by Bridgeway is the treatment of 

symptoms associated with the hospice diagnosis with a focus 

on an overall improvement of quality of life. 

As one nears the end of life and modern medicine and

 you to provide comfort and companionship.

What Values Or Principles Guide Bridgeway Hospice?  

Being locally owned and operated, we are not willing  to lose touch with that family feel.  Employees are an important value to the care we provide.  We share each other's victories and struggles, and pass our love for each other on to the families we service.  With that being said, we hold each other accountable to advance in personal growth areas,  to become people of strong character and integrity.    Dana McBride, C.E.O.
