Where Care Matters Most
Compassionate support for individuals and families facing life-limiting illness.
Hospice is comfort-focused care that addresses physical, emotional, and spiritual needs at home, in a nursing facility, or wherever feels like home.
Questions families ask first
- Does choosing hospice mean giving up?
- No. Hospice focuses care on quality of life and comfort. Many patients live longer and more comfortably on hospice than off it.
- How quickly can hospice begin?
- Once a referral is received and eligibility is confirmed, care can begin the same day or the next day in most cases.
- Who pays for hospice care?
- Hospice is typically covered in full by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance. Medica Hospice accepts Traditional Medicare with more plans coming soon.
