What Makes Us Different
At Evercare Hospice & Palliative Care, we are committed to providing the best hospice and palliative care experience available. This commitment is expressed in our Seven Point Pledge.
In every area of hospice care, we try to do more than what is required—and expected. The desire to do more can be seen in the passion and commitment of our staff and volunteers. It can also be measured by the services we offer, which go above and beyond what typical hospices offer.
How Evercare Hospice & Palliative Care Goes Above and Beyond
Unlike many hospice programs, Evercare provides the following services:
- We offer board-certified hospice and palliative care physicians at each of our program locations.
- Our medical directors regularly see our patients and are available for direct patient care.
- We have an unrestricted access program, even for those eligible patients pursuing aggressive treatments like radiation or chemotherapy.
- Because of our physician involvement, we provide a broad spectrum of medications and treatments for symptom relief.

Within our power, we are committed to providing the best hospice and palliative care experience available. That commitment is expressed in our Seven Point Pledge.
Evercare™ Hospice & Palliative Care pledges to:
1. Admit all hospice-eligible referrals the same day, unless requested otherwise. Patients deserve timely care and action, especially as they approach end-of-life.
2. Provide direct, extensive physician involvement in the care of each patient. Experts highly trained in hospice and palliative care are involved and available to make personal visits.
3. Achieve acceptable pain control on all patients. No patient should live in pain. That's why we place such an emphasis on delivering pain management in a timely and caring manner.
4. Respond to all patient-related calls within 15 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A patient's condition doesn't take a day off, and neither do we.
5. Provide a hospice staff presence at the time of death. We'll be there at this important time, as we have throughout the process, to provide comfort and support.
6. Maintain an Unrestricted Options Philosophy regarding patient admissions. We believe in making hospice care available to all those who are eligible.
7. Offer palliative care consults and advanced care planning services. These continuing health care services are important, so we offer expertise in both areas.
