Hospice

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

I enjoyed working with Envision very much. Brian and P.T. came to my home to help me with pelvic fractures and was very professional. He arrived on time and explained all of the exercises clearly and thoroughly. He told me the purpose of each exercise. Brian was always pleasant and gentle. Thank you Brian and Envision Home Health & Hospice for all of your excellent care!

Mrs. Brandt

This was the first time I had to rely on outside help to get my health back. I was doubtful at first but quickly found Brian very helpful and knowledgeable. He was very patient with me and could easily sense when I needed a break! He took the time to show me things I could do myself to strengthen my hip and leg muscles! I would strongly recommend this company and Brian to anyone in need of physical therapy.
