Staff will do everything possible to accommodate all families as needed. Hospice care will take precedence and is not limited by a number of days. It is possible that more than two rooms may be devoted to end-of-life care at any given time. The staff will strive to always be flexible, accommodating families if at all possible. The combination of respite care and palliative care along with end of life and bereavement care is unique to Ryan House. The result will be a strengthening of the family, individuals in that family, and the entire circle of friends and relatives.
