If your loved one has a serious illness and treatments aren’t helping like they used to — or if comfort, peace, and time together matter more than hospital trips — it may be time. Hospice doesn’t mean “giving up.” It means focusing on quality of life and comfort at home. We can help you decide with a free nurse visit.

Everything related to the terminal diagnosis is covered: nurse visits, aide care, medications, equipment (like a hospital bed or oxygen), and supplies (like wound dressings). Most families pay nothing out-of-pocket under Medicare or insurance.

Yes. Hospice care is a benefit fully covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance. There are no copays, deductibles, or hidden costs for care, equipment, or medications related to your loved one’s illness.

Visits are based on your loved one’s needs — usually a nurse 1–3 times per week, an aide several times a week, and social work or chaplain visits as desired. We adjust visits anytime symptoms change, and someone is always available after hours.

You call us — not 911. A nurse will answer right away, talk you through what’s happening, and if needed, come to the home, day or night. We never leave families alone in a crisis.

Yes. Your current doctor can stay involved and work with our hospice medical director. You don’t lose your doctor — you gain a full team supporting their plan for comfort care.

Yes. We deliver and set up everything — bed, oxygen, wheelchair, walker, commode — whatever’s needed for comfort and safety. This is 100% covered by Medicare. We also maintain and replace equipment at no cost.

We focus on comfort and peace. Our nurses are experts at symptom control and will adjust medications quickly to keep your loved one comfortable at home. We teach families what to watch for and how to respond.

We can provide a nurse visit to the bedside and will have “just in case” medications available for immediate relief. The goal is always to manage symptoms quickly and safely.

Only medications that no longer help or cause discomfort are stopped — and only after talking it through with you and your doctor. Many medications continue, depending on goals and comfort.

No. You can still call 911, although we will ask you to call us first. A DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) is a personal choice — hospice simply helps you understand your options so you can decide what’s right for your family.

You get a full team — nurse, aide, social worker, chaplain, volunteers, and a 24/7 support line. We teach, guide, and check on you, not just the patient. After your loved one passes, we offer free grief support for a full year.

It starts with one call. We can admit the same day or within 24 hours, even on weekends. A nurse will visit to explain everything and begin care right away.

You can revoke hospice at any time or switch hospices if you choose. There are no penalties or delays. Your comfort and choice always come first.

Our goal is simple: keep your loved one comfortable and alert enough to enjoy each day. We use medications safely and in the smallest doses needed — from standard pain meds like morphine or fentanyl, even medical marijuana to non-drug comfort measures like relaxation, massage, or repositioning.
