Hospice

Comfort, peace, support

Carondelet Village recognizes that every person deserves to live out life with respect and dignity, as alert and free of pain as possible, in an environment that promotes quality of life. When treatments are no longer successful or additional support or pain management is needed, hospice may be the right choice. Hospice provides compassionate care that focuses on comfort, quality of life, and support for individuals with life-limiting illness, their families and caregivers. Services are provided in surroundings that are familiar: a private home, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing care center – wherever is home.

Hospice offers patients, their families and caregivers the care, insight and guidance to live as fully and comfortably as possible. Our comprehensive program is designed to achieve the best quality of life for clients, ensuring they receive loving care and respect.

Hospice programs are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, HMO, private insurance, self-pay and charitable donations. While all hospice programs are welcome at Carondelet Village, Carondelet Village’s in-house hospice program is Optage® Hospice, which is Medicare-certified.
