We believe in doing all we can to ensure people have the best quality of life possible. To do that, we offer relaxation and comfort services at no charge.
These services are offered in addition to our medical treatment, and are provided by professionally trained staff and volunteers. They are part of your care team, and stay in constant contact with your nurses and doctors.

Comfort touch
The experience of caring, compassionate “touch” can be very reassuring and soothing. Different types
of massage can be used depending on the reason for treatment and your condition. Massage can be used to loosen stiff muscles and joints, or to reduce stress, tension, and anxiety. It can be beneficial in the treatment of pain, swelling, and sleeplessness. When (and if ) people become unresponsive during end-of-life, a comforting touch can ease the transition.
Caring Circle is able to provide therapeutic massage due to the generosity of our donors.
Music
Relaxation music is available to patients and families. Singing, piano playing, and other types of music
are available to bring comfort, relaxation, and make meaningful memories.
