What is hospice?

Hospice care is a type of treatment that focuses on aggressive symptom management for patients who are facing terminal illness. Shelter Hospice has a team that supports the families and caregivers to ensure that patients receive a higher quality of life. Our Board-Certified Medical Directors facilitate a caring environment and lead our team of nurses, aides, spiritual counselors, and social workers to provide anticipatory and comprehensive therapies which are individualized to meet patient and family needs and desires.

Where is hospice care provided?

Shelter Hospice ensures that you are treated with dignity and respect in the comfort of your home. Our team is accessible 24/7.

Who pays for hospice care?

Hospice is 100% covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or most private insurances. There will be no out-of-pocket expenses to receive your hospice benefits.

Private Care

If Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance is not applicable, we also provide private care. Terms and conditions apply. Contact us for more info. 

Who can guide me through hospice and palliative care options?

When you contact us, a member of our clinical team will provide education regarding all aspects of the program to ensure the proper level of care is given. Our mission is to empower families with the best care and experience. Our goal is to provide holistic, comprehensive, compassionate care and support the family unit.
