Hospice of West Alabama, Inc.

Hospice of West Alabama, Inc. We have been providing care to terminally ill patients and their families in West Alabama since 1982.

*Hospice focuses on caring, not curing, and in most cases care is provided in the person’s home.
*Hospice care is also provided in freestanding hospice facilities – such as HOWA's Helen H. Hahn House – hospitals, nursing homes, and other long-term care facilities.
*Hospice services are available to patients of any age, religion, race, or illness.
*Hospice is paid for through the Medicare hospic

e benefit, Medicaid hospice benefit, and most private insurers. Even if a person does not have coverage, HOWA has funds available as a United Way agency and from community donations to provide services.
*No patient physically appropriate for hospice care will be turned away because of an inability to pay.

On National Grief Awareness Day, we recognize that grief looks different for everyone. 💜

There is no timeline, no “right” way to grieve, and no need to walk through it alone.

At Hospice of West Alabama, our Bereavement Counseling services are available to anyone in our community experiencing grief, not just those who have lost a loved one who received care from our agency. We’re here to provide support, compassion, and a safe place to talk through the challenges of loss.

If you or someone you know is struggling with grief, we’re here to help. For more information about our bereavement services, contact our Bereavement Counselor at [email protected] or call 205-523-0101.

Who qualifies for hospice care, and how do you know when it’s time? 🤍

Hospice care is generally considered when someone is facing a terminal condition with a life expectancy of six months or less. At Hospice of West Alabama, each patient’s information is carefully reviewed by physicians to ensure hospice is the appropriate next step.

If you’re wondering whether hospice may be right for someone you love, you don’t have to navigate that question alone.

Preparing for the future is one of the greatest gifts you can give your loved ones.

What is respite care?

Respite care is a short-term stay in our Inpatient Unit that allows hospice patients to receive compassionate, around-the-clock care while their primary caregiver takes a well-deserved break. Whether it’s time to rest, attend appointments, travel, or simply recharge, respite care gives caregivers the opportunity to care for themselves while knowing their loved one is safe and receiving excellent care.

Taking a break isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s an important part of being able to continue providing care.

If you would like to learn more about respite care, please contact us at hospiceofwestal.com/about-us/contact-us/.
