Home Hospice Care

The Saint Luke’s Hospice team helps make patients’ final days a time of comfort and love. We walk with patients and families throughout the journey—helping manage the physical, emotional, and spiritual care needed at end of life, allowing them to focus on spending quality time together.

We provide individualized care in patients' homes or in an assisted living or nursing facility. Our team of hospice experts uses the latest clinical best practices and holistic approaches—such as music, pet, or aroma therapy—to manage patients’ pain and other symptoms, making them as comfortable as possible.

Our team also supports patients’ loved ones while they come to terms with their loss. Grief coordinators, chaplains, and other experts are with them through the stages of grief. They help prepare the family for the process of dying and are available to provide one-on-one or group support.

Hospice patients and their families have all-day and all-night access to their care team.

For patients that need more intensive care, we offer Saint Luke’s Hospice House.

Our hospice team is experienced, trained, and passionate about the quality of every day of each patient’s life.
