Care That Goes Beyond the Clinical
At Hospice of the North Coast, we care for more than symptoms. Our patient and family services are designed to bring peace, comfort, and emotional support throughout every stage of the journey. From integrative therapies to bereavement services, spiritual guidance, and support for children and teens — you are never alone.
Integrative Therapies: Comfort for the Body and Soul
- Music Therapy: Improves mood and reduces anxiety through live or recorded music facilitated by a trained therapist.
- Healing Touch: Energy-based therapy that supports relaxation, reduces stress, and complements medical care.
- Reflexology: Gentle pressure on hands or feet to promote healing, ease tension, and support circulation.
- Reiki: A holistic energy practice that supports emotional, spiritual, and physical balance.
- Pet Therapy: Certified therapy animals provide companionship, reduce isolation, and offer emotional comfort.

These therapies are offered as complements to traditional care and tailored to the needs of each patient.
