Comfort and Compassion at Humanitas Hospice

Living in comfort, wherever you call home, is what most people desire when approaching the end of an illness and life.  Hospice can take place in a private residence, nursing facility, assisted or independent living, homeless shelter, or wherever the patient is located.   At Humanitas Hospice, we understand the unique needs and challenges you and your loved ones face during this difficult time. Our mission is to provide expert care and compassion, ensuring you live comfortably and fully.

The end of life is a journey, not a destination

Symptoms are managed around the clock and services are intensified as the patient’s status requires to guarantee comfort, peace, and quality of life.

Meet patients and families where they are

Not everyone is ready for what they believe Hospice is, so we meet them where they are and gently transition them to a plan of care that most addresses their immediate needs and concerns.

We treat patients and loved ones like family

We tailor our services to best meet the needs and requests of our patients, their caregivers, and loved ones.

What is Hospice Care?

Hospice care is provided in patients’ homes or residential and care settings (Skilled Nursing and Long-Term Care facilities, Assisted and Independent Living facilities) by interdisciplinary teams of professionals and trained volunteers. These teams ease the physical, emotional, and spiritual pain and stress experienced by patients and their families. Additionally, we offer thirteen months of grief support for families. Hospice care is available during the last six months of life through the Medicare Hospice Benefit.
