The benefits of hospice care ensure quality and comfort through the end of life journey. Some of the benefits with hospice include:
Many families share they wished they knew about the many services of hospice sooner. Hospice gives patients and families the ability to share their final time together in peace and comfort. Our goal is to provide the best care when, where and how it matters most.
If you or your loved one have been diagnosed with a serious illness and have experienced a significant decline in condition, we can help you navigate your options for care.
If you are unsure if hospice care is right for you or your loved one, a pre-hospice consultation may be helpful. For a consultation, call us at 317-621-5900. The patient, patient’s physician, family member, nurse, social worker or healthcare provider may request a consultation.

Hospice is a specialized care that focuses on the patient’s wishes, desires and comfort as well as providing family support when a patient no longer responds to curative measures.
Hospice patients are cared for in their homes, assisted living facilities, nursing homes and inpatient hospital settings…wherever the patient is most comfortable and considers to be home.
Typically, a family member serves as the primary caregiver and, when appropriate, helps make decisions for the seriously ill individual. Members of the hospice staff make regular visits to assess the patient and provide additional care or other services. The hospice team develops a care plan that meets each patient’s individual needs for pain management and symptom control. Support for family caregivers is also assessed throughout the care period. While the range of services provided will vary depending on each individual situation and the specific needs, hospice staff are available by phone 24 hours a day/7 days a week.
Our interdisciplinary hospice team consists of a hospice medical director, registered nurses, certified home health aides, social workers, chaplains, music therapist and volunteers. The goal is to manage symptoms and pain, as well as assist the patient and family with emotional and spiritual needs. We provide medical equipment, supplies, and any medicines related to the hospice diagnosis, needed by the patient. Our team coaches the family on how to care for the patient. In addition, our grief specialist provides bereavement counseling to family after the loved one passes.
Hospice care is for any person who has a life limiting illness. Most reimbursement sources require a prognosis of 6 months or less if the illness runs its normal course. Hospice considers the patient and the family together on their plan of care.
