Nurses' aide job in Danvers, MA
Experts in Compassionate Care When facing an advanced or end-of-life illness, you can turn to the experts at Care Dimensions for skilled and compassionate care. For more than 35 years, Care Dimensions has been a driving force in expanding access to hospice and palliative care in Massachusetts. In 2015, we received the prestigious Circle of Life Award from the American Hospital Association and other healthcare organizations for being a national leader in palliative and end-of-life care. Today, Care Dimensions is the largest hospice in Massachusetts and we offer a continuum of clinical care for adult and pediatric patients with advanced and life-limiting illnesses and provide support for their families and caregivers.
Care Dimensions serves people of all ages, races, faiths, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnic backgrounds and socio-economic standing and is committed to helping more individuals and families access care and receive support during one of the most challenging times in their lives. No one is denied care because of financial status, level of insurance coverage or ability to pay.
Patient-Centered Care
By considering every facet of a patient's life, members of the Care Dimensions clinical team bring a holistic perspective to the care they give. Each patient is viewed as a whole person with physical, emotional, spiritual and social needs. Patients and their loved ones find comfort and relief in Care Dimensions' integrative and individualized approach.
