"Casa
de la Luz" is Spanish for "house of light." That's what one
needs when facing a terminal illness ― a house of light, to
provide comfort, support, and experienced hospice care during the end-of-life journey. When the
final months of life approach, most people agree that they want
to be at home, treated with respect, free of pain, have personal
wishes upheld, and to be remembered. Casa strives to accomplish
all this for every patient... because every day counts.
Founded in 1998 by two Tucsonan women, Lynette Jaramillo and
Agnes Poore, RN, Casa de la Luz Hospice has become a leading
provider of superior hospice care to terminally ill
patients and their families throughout Tucson and its surrounding
communities.
Casa is here to help manage
and provide support in the final stages of a terminal
illness. The Medicare Hospice Benefit defines 'terminal' as having a life expectancy of six months or less, if the disease runs its expected
course. Hospice costs are fully covered by the Medicare Hospice
Benefit and most insurance plans.
