A Holistic Approach to Home, Palliative and Hospice Care

We blend advanced medical solutions with compassionate, whole-person care that supports patients physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Our personalized therapies address individual needs, and open communication on progress and feedback is established at every step. Innovation at Ascend Health is designed to elevate comfort, dignity, and connection. This might mean integrating spiritual counseling into a dementia care plan or tailoring services specifically for veterans. By listening closely, acting with empathy, and adapting to each person’s unique situation, we deliver truly individualized, forward-thinking care.

Innovation Across Our Healthcare Services

From home health to hospice, we lead with purpose-driven care models that improve quality of life, streamline services, and offer new ways to support patients and families through every stage of serious illness. Innovation at Ascend Health touches every part of our care continuum:

  • Innovative Home Care: Our skilled nurses use remote patient monitoring and proactive care plans to prevent hospital readmissions and support recovery at home.
    Innovative
  • Palliative Care: With board-certified specialists and integrated support systems, we deliver care from the point of diagnosis — not just at the end. Our goal is to help patients live better, not just longer.
  • Hospice Care: We offer more than symptom management. Our advanced therapies (including massage, Reiki, and pet therapy) and same-day admissions help ensure comfort without delay.
  • Caregiver Support: From digital care coordination tools to dedicated counseling and respite programs, we empower families with the resources and relief they need.

Leveraging Technology for Continuous Growth

Hospice care is a highly personal and emotional experience, and caregivers in particular can experience intense fatigue and burnout. Ascend Health finds ways to support both caregivers and employees by partnering with Jolly and Annie Health. These tools help us work together to better understand patient, caregiver and employee satisfaction, so that we can continuously improve our quality of care and support.

Volunteers at Ascend Hospice contribute in innovative roles that go far beyond traditional support.

It’s one more way we extend our mission of dignity and healing while creating space for community members to make a lasting difference.
