Hospice isn’t a last resort. It’s a first choice.

Embrace the now.

We can’t promise you more time.
But we can help make the time you have much better.

If you’ve been diagnosed with a serious illness, hospice can actually be a beginning: of expert pain management and supportive care that helps you make more of the time you have, and feel better while you do it. Whatever “embracing the now” means to you, this is your time to do it fully, without regrets: and our region’s largest, most experienced, and most trusted nonprofit hospice service can help.

How we help.

We usually start with a visit to your home, a care facility, or the hospital to see how things are going. Then, we focus on:

Making a care plan to help improve comfort and quality of life.
Giving expert advice on how to manage pain and other symptoms.
Helping you understand you or your loved one’s condition and what to expect in the future.
Working with other healthcare providers to care for the whole person, not just the illness.
Answering any questions you or your loved one may have about Palliative or Hospice Care.

Consultation appointments are usually covered by medical insurance.

What to Expect

Hosparus Health’s hospice care program is for people who are facing terminal illness and have a life expectancy of six months or less. Hospice services are not curative but, rather, provide relief of pain and other symptoms associated with the patient’s terminal illness and related conditions. It’s a medical benefit completely covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and all private insurance plans.
Pallitus Health Partners, a part of Hosparus Health, offers palliative care (or advanced illness care). Unlike hospice care, palliative care does not require a terminal diagnosis. It is intended to optimize your quality of life and it can help you match your goals to your treatment choices. Palliative care services are delivered wherever you call home and for as long as necessary.

A critical but often overlooked component of care for families and friends is spiritual support. These services are offered to meet your spiritual needs and wishes, and go hand-in-hand with palliative and hospice care. Emotional and spiritual support is always available to the person’s family and loved ones.
