At Missouri Palliative & Hospice Care, we are deeply committed to ensuring that veterans receive the respect, dignity, and compassionate care they deserve—especially as they near the end of life.

From specialized hospice programs and veteran-to-veteran volunteer support to addressing pain, PTSD, and emotional healing—our mission is to care for those who once cared for us.

🎃 Last myth for this series! Some think hospice only happens at home.

Myth: Hospice is only provided in the home.

Fact: Hospice is a service, not a place. Care is provided wherever you live: home, assisted living, nursing home, or a family member’s house.

We bring compassionate care to you. Myth busted!

Happy Halloween 🎃

🕸 Myth busted! You can keep your doctor when you choose hospice.

Myth: Hospice patients must change their doctor.

Fact: Your primary physician works alongside the hospice team, so you continue care with the doctor you trust. Plus, a hospice physician is available to support your care every step of the way.

Your trusted doctor stays part of your care. Myth busted!

Our sister agency Kansas Palliative & Hospice Care has a patient moving and needs to rehome her cat, Mittens. She is a 10 year old spayed cat without claws. She is possibly behind on her shots by 1 year. She is shy/friendly but her comfort around other pets is unknown. No medical or behaviorial needs. We need to identify a new home by Fridat, October 24th. If you know someone who would like to take in this sweet girl please let us know. You can also reach us at (913) 353-6525. Thank you.

👻 Another myth bites the dust! Some think hospice patients must stay in bed or at home all the time.

Myth: You must be homebound to receive hospice.

Fact: Hospice encourages patients to stay active and enjoy life. Our expert team helps patients and families achieve personal goals—as much as possible.

Living well at the end of life is the goal. Myth busted!

💀 Myth buster of the week! Some think hospice care costs a fortune—but here’s the truth:

Myth: Hospice care is expensive.

Fact: Hospice care is 100% covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance. Financial support may also be available for those with limited resources.

Quality end-of-life care should be accessible for all. Myth busted!

🎃 This October, we’re celebrating Halloween by busting common hospice myths! Every week, we’ll tackle a myth and share the truth behind hospice care.

Myth: Hospice is only for people with cancer.
Fact: Less than half of hospice admissions are for cancer, and cancer accounts for under 25% of U.S. deaths. Hospice also supports people with Alzheimer’s, ALS, heart disease, lung disease, kidney disease, stroke, AIDS, and more.

🎃💚 Myth busted!
