Integrative Therapies Programs

Comfort that reaches beyond medicine

INTEGRATIVE THERAPIES

At Superior Hospice, we believe that care isn’t just about relieving symptoms — it’s about enriching the human experience. That’s why our Integrative Therapies Programs offer more than clinical support. They bring emotional relief, connection, and moments of peace during life’s most sacred journey. Whether through the soothing rhythm of a song, the quiet presence of a therapy dog, or the healing touch of massage, these specialty services are here to help patients and their families feel truly supported — body, mind, and spirit.

WHAT ARE INTEGRATIVE THERAPY PROGRAMS?

Our Integrative Programs provide patient-centered comfort care that supports physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs. These services work alongside traditional hospice care — never replacing it, but enhancing it.

They aren’t medical treatments. They’re human touches that bring joy, ease, and connection during a time that calls for deep presence and compassion.

WHOLE-PERSON COMFORT AND SUPPORT

Each offering is part of a holistic approach to care — helping ease stress, support emotional wellbeing, and create moments of meaningful connection. These therapies are gentle but powerful, and always tailored to what brings peace and comfort to the individual.

Whether a patient seeks calm, companionship, stimulation, or simple joy, therapies meet those needs with tenderness and intention.

WHO PROVIDES THIS CARE?

Aside from our massage therapy, which is provided by a licensed and certified massage therapist, these programs are led by specially trained hospice volunteers and supported by our interdisciplinary care team. All services are coordinated through the patient’s plan of care and offered based on personal preferences, medical condition, and availability.

We take the time to listen — and to match the right support to the person receiving it.
