Can hospice care be provided in assisted living facilities?

Hospice care is commonly provided in assisted living facilities, memory care communities, and residential care homes. Our team visits regularly to provide medical care, emotional support, and symptom management while the facility continues to handle room, board, and daily care.

We work collaboratively with facility staff, sharing information about changes in condition and ensuring everyone is aligned on the care plan. This partnership helps prevent gaps in care and ensures consistent support around the clock.

Families sometimes worry that hospice will disrupt their loved one's routine or relationship with facility caregivers. In practice, hospice enhances the care already being provided, adding specialized expertise in comfort care without replacing the familiar faces your loved one knows.

If your family member resides in an assisted living or memory care community and you are considering hospice, we encourage you to reach out. We can explain how hospice integrates with facility care and answer any questions the facility team might have.
