Hospice WA

Hospice is designed to provide comfort and support to patients with a life-limiting illness. Hospice provides support to the patient and family by caring for physical, psychological and spiritual needs. While on hospice a patient may also qualify for traditional medical services. If a hospice patient’s condition improves and they no longer qualify for current hospice services, their complete Medicare hospice benefit is still available when they need it again.

Who is eligible for the hospice benefit?

Anyone with a life expectancy of six months or less is eligible for hospice services. You should start thinking about hospice for your loved one if they have experienced any combination of these symptoms.

Client Testimonials

Average 5-star reviews

Our family was referred to Envision Healthcare At Home for our father who was terminally ill and wanted to pursue death with dignity. Due to his deteriorating health time was of the essence to avoid a prolonged suffering. The intake worker facilitated a masterful plan, with many moving parts, to ensure my dad’s care was transferred from one entity to another and all requirements were met. The team was responsive, persistent, skillful, and compassionate. They took my calls every time I reached out and communicated to me as the integral part of our family’s plan that they were. Nurses were educational, skillful, loving, and respectful. They covered every area of need and soothed all of our concerns. Our social worker was available and present for our needs and our father’s. She comforted us and guided us in our processing thoughts as well as self care. My dad had a seamless and peaceful death. I highly recommend Envision Healthcare At Home. I will forever be grateful to them.
