Our patients deserve the highest level of comfort, dignity, and care no matter where they call home. Our goal is to raise $65,000 to replace all 8 beds, and we need our communityโ€™s help to make it happen.

We are incredibly honored to announce that Hospice of Lake Cumberland has been recognized as a MatrixCare 2026 CAHPS Honors Elite Award recipient!

This prestigious national recognition places Hospice of Lake Cumberland among the very top hospice providers in the country for patient and family satisfaction.

The CAHPS Honors Elite Award is presented only to hospice organizations that score above the national average on 100% of the evaluated quality measures in the official Hospice CAHPS (Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) survey. This distinction reflects the voices of the patients and families we have the privilege of serving every day.

While awards are meaningful, what matters most to us is knowing that families feel supported, cared for, and treated with compassion during one of life's most difficult journeys.

This recognition belongs to our dedicated team of nurses, aides, social workers, chaplains, physicians, volunteers, staff, and to the patients and families who place their trust in us. Thank you for allowing us to fulfill our mission of Making Every Moment Count.

๐Ÿ’œ Friends, We Need Your Help!

We are currently out of Twin XL bed sheets, and we could use your support.

Many of our hospice patients receive hospital beds in their homes, but they often don't have the proper Twin XL sheets to fit them. Something as simple as a comfortable set of sheets can make a meaningful difference during a difficult time.

If you're looking for a simple way to give back, we would be incredibly grateful for donations of new Twin XL bed sheets.
