Blue Skies Hospice: Committed to Compassion and Quality Care

Blue Skies Hospice, Incorporated was founded by Lisa Guzman in 2002 to offer services that hospice does not normally offer. Blue Skies Hospice provides care to patients that have feeding tubes, intravenous therapy, and treatment of most infections. The philosophy of this agency is to provide any service within the scope of the law to allow dignity and to provide peaceful end-of-life care.

Care is managed through a team consisting of nurses, physicians, social workers, chaplains, home health aides, and volunteers.  Staff members visit homes and long term care facilities, focusing on symptom and problem management.  Registered nurses are on call 24 hours a day to help with all problems encountered that can't be handled by phone.  If this occurs, a visit is made to the home. Blue Skies Hospice provides services for children and adults. Services are tailored to the needs of the individual.

We provide personalized services to improve the quality of life for both the patient and their family. We always strive to provide the highest quality care. Valuing patient and family requests and assisting with individualized care we strive to meet the needs regardless of race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or economic status.

The vision of Blue Skies Hospice is to provide patients the option to remain in their homes during a terminal illness or, to be placed in our hospice house that provides 24 hour care with an emphasis on the patient and family's physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
