What VNA does:

Hospice care is care that is provided to individuals whose life expectancy is limited due to illness. Hospice focuses on comfort and provides support not only to the patient but also to the family or caregiver.

The organization’s goal is to provide the patient with the support and care he/she needs in order for him/her to live life as comfortable and fully as possible. Hospice care can be provided anywhere an individual calls home. It can be provided in the comfort of a person’s own home, a loved one’s home, a nursing home, or a personal care home. The organization treats each patient and family as if they were their own.

Clarion Forest VNA bases their care on the individual needs of the patient and family.

The office is located at 271 Perkins Road, Clarion, Pa.
