Hospice is a philosophy and a way of caring for individuals living with serious illnesses who no longer benefit from curative treatments. The Kenwood has a strong history of partnering with hospice agencies throughout the Twin Cities to provide our residents the highest quality of care. Palliative care is specialized medical care for people with serious illnesses, focused on providing patients relief from the symptoms, pain and stress. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family.
