About us
Tidewell Hospice, an affiliate of Empath Health, serves more than 1,200 patients daily in Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte and DeSoto counties, Tidewell is one of the largest not-for-profit hospices in the U.S. Home-based palliative care is the basic premise of the program, involving the support of physicians, registered nurses, social service counselors, certified nursing assistants and volunteers, all following a prescribed plan of care. Tidewell's services are available to everyone, regardless of ability to pay. The reward of caring for those with advanced illness is at the heart of hospice and a catalyst in the continuing impact hospice has had for individuals across the nation. Nowhere is it more evident than on Florida's gulf coast, where Tidewell will care for more than 8,000 patients this year. In choosing Tidewell, patients and families make a decision to spend their last months together in a familiar, caring environment. Tidewell's supportive services create a sense of relief, as trained professionals offer care and guidance. They are experts in pain and symptom control. Decisions are made based on the individualized needs of patients, with the realization that something more can always be done to bring comfort and dignity to those living with advanced illness. Rather than a place, hospice is a philosophy - a program of care and support wherever patients need us. Tidewell's services extend to any location - a private residence, hospital, assisted living facility, nursing home or any of our seven hospice houses.
