WHAT IS HOSPICE ?

As the largest and only non-profit hospice in Southern Nevada, we are often asked questions about what hospice is and how it can help someone at the end of life.

It’s important to understand that hospice is not a place, but rather a philosophy, that focuses on the well-being of the whole person. It is a journey of care for a patient. When a prognosis of a life-limiting illness is six months or less, it is time to consider hospice.

IS HOSPICE THE RIGHT THING FOR YOU:

Have you or your loved one spent more time in and out of the hospital, than at home? Are you or your loved one struggling with getting out of bed and getting dressed daily because you are physically not able? Have you have considered looking into hospice care for support? If so, you are not alone. Understandably, people find this period stressful and unfamiliar with the new responsibilities. As overwhelming as it may seem, choosing hospice will be a wise choice. As your trusted partner on the journey of care, we bring compassion and hands-on support in the patients home during difficult days ahead.

Our People Make The Difference

We have been recognized by Modern Healthcare as one of the 100 Best Places to Work in the country nine times in the last decade. We value our colleagues, and that allows them to provide the highest standard of care to our community.

We Are The Hospice Of Choice

We are recognized as a national leader in hospice and palliative care, and have helped more than 80,000 patients since we opened our doors over forty years ago. It is our privilege to be part of our city’s rich history and to continue to care for all who need it.

We Provide Quality Care Where You Are

Our clinical staff offers support 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our inter-disciplinary teams provide care wherever someone calls home — private residences, assisted living centers, and nursing homes. We have two inpatient locations in the Las Vegas Valley – our 20-bed Swenson facility and our 18-bed Tenaya facility.

HOSPICE IS A NON-PROFIT

We raise funds to provide care to uninsured and underinsured members of our community and support needed programs and services such as meal delivery, complementary therapies, transportation, and families in need.

We Have Traveled This Path Many Times
