Hospice Care Plus provides services wherever the patient is living or receiving care. In some cases, this means that a patient's primary residence is a nursing facility.

We work with patients, families and their care providers to assure a quality continuum of end-of-life care.

Working closely with the patient, family and staff, the Hospice team provides comprehensive care that addresses the physical, emotional and spiritual concerns that can arise when a person is at the end of life.

When we provide hospice care in a facility, we work with the facility's staff to establish a collaborative plan of care. We consider the staff at the facility as part of the caregiving team and we provide training in end-of-life care to each nursing facility.
