You and your loved ones want to make well-informed choices about care near the end of life. Hospice of Jefferson County, Inc. can help. Hospice of Jefferson County, Inc. was founded in 1985 by a group of concerned professionals and community members who saw a need in the region for an organization that could support patients and their families facing their end of life journey. Hospice can be an important part of living the way you want to and experiencing the best quality of life possible.

Hospice offers our patients comfort and the best care available in the familiar surroundings of their home or our Hospice Residence. The Hospice philosophy affirms life and regards dying as a normal process, which should be neither hastened nor prolonged. When a cure is no longer possible, Hospice provides specialized care and treatment for people of all ages with a terminal illness.

Every phase of life has its own challenges and rewards. Hospice Care exists to provide support on every level from the moment your illness becomes life limiting. Although no one can determine when death will come, hospice gives you control over how and where you are cared for allowing every moment to be treasured. Hospice of Jefferson County can help you and your family Make Every Day Matter.
