Compassus Hospice

About Us

Compassus is proud to offer compassionate and culturally appropriate hospice services to patients and their families.

We believe that every day of life has meaning. That's why your comfort, safety and quality of life guide every step of our care. A life-limiting illness should not define who you are. With the help of our attentive and professional hospice team, you will find peace and meaningful moments together.

The four types of hospice care are:

Routine home care
Continuous care
Inpatient care
Respite care (relief) for family caregivers

PALLIATIVE CARE
Palliative Care provides relief from the pain, symptoms and the stress of a serious illness. Patients may continue curative treatments and move in and out of palliative services as needed. Support includes:

Managing complex pain and other symptoms
Emotions support for patients and families
Reducing the side effects of medications or treatments
Planning your healthcare goals and priorities

HOME HEALTH
Whether recovering from surgery, illness or coping with a chronic condition, home can be an ideal place to receive care. Home health care options are often less expensive than a hospital, rehabilitation facility or a nursing home.

HOME INFUSION THERAPY
Infusion therapy enables patients to receive treatment without having to go to a hospital or clinic. Many people prefer home IV treatment because it offers greater independence and flexibility. Infusion therapy is provided by Ascension at Home Together with Compassus.

Recent studies show IV therapy at home is just as safe and effective as therapy in a clinical setting. It often costs less and many patients say they recovery faster and with less stress.
