Hospice Care Is Compassionate Care

End-of-Life Care Meets Physical, Spiritual, and Emotional Needs

Hospice provides comfort care and focuses on quality of life. Hospice is a benefit that is available to those who are facing a life-limiting illness. Hospice does not give us the power to shorten or prolong life. Hospice care gives us the power to choose how we live.

Our Mission for Hospice Care at Home

Our hospice services are designed to meet the physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of our clients and their families facing end-of-life healthcare needs with dignity, compassion, and continuity of care.

Send us a message online or call us at (855) 881-7442 to learn more.

Am I Ready for Hospice Care?

People often see hospice as giving up. However, hospice is a new beginning and the ability to choose how to live out the rest of one’s life. When a person says yes to hospice, they are saying:

If you or your loved one have experienced the following, it may be time to consider hospice care at home:

Uncomfortable symptoms that have responded poorly to treatment
Progressive weight loss
Frequent hospitalizations
Infections
Falls
Significantly decreased intake of nutrition
Going through a terminal disease process you don’t receive treatment for

Who Pays for Hospice Care?

Medicare and Medicaid provide 100% coverage for hospice care services. Most private insurance includes some coverage for the hospice benefit. The Phoenix Hospice team works directly with you and your physician to create an individualized plan of care that will meet your needs and help you live the way you choose.

The team at Phoenix understands the decision to choose hospice can be difficult. We will send one of our hospice experts to visit you in your home to explain the hospice benefit and how hospice can make your life better. We want everyone to have the opportunity to understand the value of hospice before you make a decision.
