Hospice services provide care and comfort to patients diagnosed with a terminal illness that has been certified by a physician. Hospice and palliative care is provided through a team-oriented approach to medical care, pain management, and emotional and spiritual support. The care-plan is developed and tailored to the patient's needs while supporting the family's wishes. Hospice focuses on caring, not curing and in most cases; care is provided in the patient's home. The services provided by Hospice are:


  • Provided in the patient's home, freestanding hospice centers, hospitals, nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. The majority of hospice patients are cared for in their own homes or anywhere home may be.
  • Available to patients of any age, religion, race, or illness.
  • Covered under Medicare, Medicaid, most private insurance plans, HMOs, and other managed care organizations.
  • For any person who has a life-threatening or terminal illness with a prognosis of six months or less if the illness runs its normal course.
  • For patients with both cancer and non-cancer illnesses.
  • Available for the patient and their family facing an end-of-life illness. Hospice assists by providing palliative care services for our patients, and education and counseling for the family.
  • Available 24 hours a day, seven days a week through hospice staff that are on-call.
  • Typically covered by Medicare, Medicaid and some private insurances when the expense is related to the terminal diagnosis. This includes medications, supplies, durable medical equipment and nursing services.
