Our in-home hospice program returns the natural process of dying to the home, amid familiar surroundings and the comforting presence of family while supplementing care provided in the location the patient calls home. This includes scheduled in-home visits by the hospice team: physicians, nursing staff, social workers, chaplains, personal care aides and hospice volunteers.

A bereavement counselor is available for home visits and added individual support.
