To Provide Compassionate Hospice care at the end of life's journey. Through teamwork, communication and training, Ambercare will continue to provide the most compassionate care, meeting the highest standards of quality for individuals and their families in the comfort of thier own homes.
Ambercare’s success is a result of a sincere concern for the needs of the patient – “That’s why we’re here – to help people.”

Description:
Hospice helps terminally ill people live well. It is concerned about comfort rather than cure. In hospice, both the patient and the family are important participants. Care is provided in the patient’s place of residence – their home, a nursing facility, residential care facility, or assisted living facility.

The goal of Hospice is to make the patient as pain-free and comfortable as possible while providing family members and significant others with the help they may need.

Hospice Services include:

Nursing visits by experienced RNs who are on call 24 hours a day
Home visits by our physicians when medically indicated
Personal care by hospice trained nursing assistants
Short-term inpatient care
Respite care
Medications
Medical equipment
Spiritual support and counseling
Assistance with community resources
13 month bereavement program
Bilingual staff
Medicare, Medicaid, and some private insurances will cover 100% of services.

History:
Ambercare was founded in Belen, New Mexico, in 1994. We began providing home health care to the people of Valencia County and have now expanded to include hospice services and medical supplies for the people of New Mexico. Ambercare’s success is a result of a sincere concern for the needs of the patient – “That’s why we’re here – to help people.”
