Hospice care serves people with life-limiting illnesses where curative treatment is no longer the primary focus. Rather than being defined by a specific disease, hospice patients share the common experience of facing a serious illness with a prognosis of six months or less if the disease follows its expected course. You’ll find people with many different conditions receiving hospice care. Cancer patients make up a significant portion, but hospice also serves those living with heart disease, lung conditions like COPD, kidney failure, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, ALS, and many other serious illnesses.
We cover all insurance, including Medicare.
