Overview

Our Hospice services are provided by an interdisciplinary team of highly experienced professionals - nurses, aides, social workers, therapists, spiritual care specialists, a medical director, and specially trained volunteers. The patient and the family are always at the center of the team’s attention. A first step in Hospice is developing a plan of care. This involves the patient and his or her family, the referring physician, and the entire care team. The goal of the care plan is to respect each patient’s wishes, and those of family members, and to assure the the highest quality end-of-life care. Putting the Hospice care plan into operation on a daily basis requires the experience, quality, and dedication of our staff. Over a third of our staff have been with Parmenter for five years or more. Parmenter Hospice care is widely recognized as superior by both professional referral sources and by families who have shared the Hospice experience.

Parlin House, Parmenter's Hospice Residence

Most of us would choose to spend our last days with loved ones in the comfort and familiarity of our own homes. For some, this may not be possible, and our beautiful Hospice residence provides a real alternative. Parlin House in Wayland was created to make a difference in the life of each person in residence. Our staff at the Residence are superbly experienced in offering care and support to dying patients as well as to family and friends.  We strive to help each resident to live every day as fully as possible, to protect dignity, respect choices, and assure a climate of comfort, compassion and companionship. Parlin House has ten private rooms each with a private bath. There are comfortable common areas for family and friends. Family pets are always welcome. The kitchen is a center of activity and the smell of fresh-baked rolls and cookies reminds everyone of home.  For more information about our Hospice Residence, please click here
