About Hospice Care
Our hospice care teams will listen, explain options, and - if it’s the right time for hospice - our team will help support your loved one with a personal care plan. We'll help you be present for their final chapter, knowing that they are comfortable, cared for, and loved.
We have a calling to help others navigate the end of life, and believe that no one should be alone to carry the weight and responsibility of caring for a dying loved one.

"When mom got worse, we didn't know what to do. Her doctor said that hospice would be the perfect fit, because she would have the comfort of her own house. And he was right. It was the perfect gift."

How hospice care works:
Call our care team, we’ll help you decide if it’s the right time for hospice care. It’s never too early to call.
We want to make this a good fit for you and your loved one, and in many cases we work with families for 4-6 months.
Thanks to Medicare, Medicaid, and the support of our donors, no one will be turned away based on finances. In almost all cases, there will be no charge for hospice care.
One of our nurses will come meet with you, wherever the individual designates as “home.” That can be in a private residence, nursing home, or assisted living facility.
We’ll get to know you, create a schedule for our nursing staff, and review medications. We offer expert medical and personal care, as well as emotional and spiritual support.
It is about allowing self-determined life closure; individuals remain the decisions makers of how they will spend their precious days, weeks, and months.
Focus on spending time with your loved one, and know that our care team will guide you at every step.
Hospice focuses on helping a person live; making the most of each minute during the final season of life.
When it’s time, our Bereavement Counselors offer grief education, counseling and support services to family members of hospice patients, who are coping with the loss of a loved one.
