What We Provide
The LaVigne Home provides end-of-life care for terminally ill persons who do not have an available caregiver to provide 24 hour care.
Our specially trained caregivers collaborate with hospice staff to provide updates on how our guests are doing, and can call the hospice team for support whenever there is a change or a guest appears uncomfortable.
Our staff are available around-the-clock to complete all activities of daily living - assisting with using the bathroom, taking medications, bathing, dressing, grooming, transferring, and meals.
Our home like environment provides a peaceful place for family members and friends to gather and spend their final moments connecting and being present.
