Hospice cares for the whole family, not just one person.

While nurses manage the patient's medical needs, we also support grandchildren trying to understand what's happening and the spouse wrestling with
anticipatory grief.

Adult children managing work while caregiving need support. The teenager questioning their faith deserves guidance. Extended family dynamics and conflicts require facilitation.

Everyone navigating their individual emotional journey matters.
Because loss doesn't happen in isolation. It ripples through families. And everyone deserves support navigating that ripple.

Volunteers provide companionship. Chaplains address spiritual questions.
Social workers facilitate family conversations. Nurses educate everyone about what to expect.

Your loved one isn't suffering alone. Neither are you.

Does hospice cost money?

It's the question many family’s ask.

The answer depends on your insurance, but most Medicare and many private insurance plans cover 100% of hospice costs. Our social workers help you understand:

What your insurance covers | Out-of-pocket costs | Payment options | Financial assistance programs | Medicare benefits specifically | Private insurance coverage details

Insurance paperwork shouldn't add stress during an already difficult time. We handle the complexity so you can focus on family.
Free consultation on your specific coverage.

Is it time for hospice?

That's a question many families ask without clear answers. Signs that hospice might be right include:

Frequent hospitalizations that don't improve outcomes | Declining response to treatments | Increasing care needs at home | Difficult symptoms that are hard to manage | Conversations shifting from ""getting better"" to "making memories"| Family caregiver exhaustion.

The only way to know for sure is to talk with someone who understands. Our nurses provide free consultations - no pressure, just honest guidance about whether hospice makes sense for your situation.

May is Older Americans Month - celebrating the wisdom, stories, and contributions of our senior community.

Each older adult we serve deserves care that honors their independence, respects their dignity, values their life story, and recognizes their contributions.
