Our goal is to provide support and care for individuals through the course of an incurable illness, so that they can live as fully and comfortably as possible. A&E is available to meet your needs twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week! We serve five counties in Northwest Alabama, including Lauderdale, Colbert, Franklin, Limestone, and Lawrence.

A&E provides specialized care aimed at relieving symptoms and pain associated with incurable illnesses rather than effecting a cure. Hospice provides care for the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of the patient and supporting services for all family members. These services are usually covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans. Patients are accepted for hospice care based on health need, not ability to pay.

When cure is no longer possible, hospice benefits everyone...

• It is a shift in medical priorities, not abandonment.
• Patient care can be delivered at home.
• Professionals relieve the burdens of the family.
• Patient comfort is number one!
• Pain management is a priority.
• The patient's dignity & wishes are respected.
• Financial hardships are relieved.
