We believe our most significant relationships begin with patients and loved ones, in which personalized care, peace of mind and total satisfaction guide every decision we make. At Ascend Hospice we deliver hospice care to our patients – attending to physical, psychosocial and spiritual needs – while also serving as a source of strength and support for the family. Through our personalized approach, we care for each person’s whole being, including mind, body and spirit. We aim to honor and respect each individual as they prepare for their final journey by providing an individualized plan of care.
Hospice begins with a referral from the patient’s doctor. From the moment a referral is made, a dedicated hospice care team steps in to provide personalized support.
Ascend Hospice services are centered on enhancing your peace and comfort. We work closely with you, your family, and your other care providers to develop a comprehensive, personalized care plan. In addition to managing symptoms, your care plan includes services for spiritual support, emotional well-being, and preserving valuable memories. Hospice services are available to patients age 18 and older.
Ascend Health is committed to setting the standard for compassionate, forward-thinking care. We invite you to experience the difference of innovation with heart – where technology, skill, and empathy come together to support every patient’s journey.

Same Day Admissions
Once you’ve made the decision to enter hospice, we understand you are anxious to begin receiving care. At Ascend Hospice, we strive for same-day admission – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including evenings and weekends – to ensure you or your loved one gets the hospice care you need immediately.
If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with a serious illness, there may come a time when the efforts to stop or slow the progression of the illness are no longer effective. If that time comes, Ascend Health can help.
