Paying for Hospice Care
Hospice care is paid for in a variety of ways. We accept multiple payer sources:

- Call for complete list of accepted insurance
Advanced Directives
Advance directives are legal documents that allow you to convey your decisions about end-of-life care ahead of time. They provide a way for you to communicate your wishes to family, friends and health care professionals, and to avoid confusion later on.
Advanced directives can help:
- You protect your right to make medical choices that can affect your life
- Your family avoid the responsibility and stress of making difficult decisions
- Your physician by providing guidelines for your care
