What is
Hospice?
Hospice provides expert, coordinated care for people facing serious illness. Our teams work closely with you, your loved ones, and your healthcare providers to honor your goals and support your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Hospice Services
St. Francis Hospice provides wraparound services for both patients and families. We meet you where you are and brings care that is aligned with your medical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
Medical Care
Your care team will come to you, whether you are in your home, in our inpatient unit, or in a facility. We are also available through the phone 24/7.
Emotional & Spiritual Care
Navigate this chapter of life with a support team that focuses on your emotional and spiritual needs.
Family Care
Families and caregivers receive support as well. Joining hospice eases the load for caregivers. Services continue after their loved one passes.
Your St. Francis Care Team
Our hospice care team is made up of a group of professionals and volunteers who work together to care for patients and families—addressing their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Our interdisciplinary hospice team includes:
Hospice Physician/APRN
Oversees care plans, manages complex symptoms, and consults with patients’ primary doctors.
Social Worker
Supports emotional well-being, assists with practical needs (financial, legal, or care planning), and helps families navigate end-of-life transitions.
RN/LPN
Provides direct medical care, symptom management, medication administration, and education for families.
Chaplain/Spiritual Counselor
Offers spiritual care and guidance, regardless of faith tradition or belief system.
CNA/NA
Helps with personal care (bathing, dressing, grooming, feeding) and provides comfort to the patient.

Hospice Isn't a Place, It's a Kind of Care
Many people think that hospice is a place you go to live out your final years. St. Francis brings compassionate hospice care to you.
We offer three service locations to ensure patients and caregivers are most comfortable.
