Hospice Care in Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Communities

Expert Hospice Care Wherever Home May Be

When most people think about hospice, they picture receiving care in their own home. For many, that is exactly where they want to spend their final months surrounded by family, familiar comforts, and cherished memories.

But for others, a nursing home, assisted living community, or long-term care facility is home. It is where they have built friendships, established routines, and feel safe and supported.

At Heartsong Hospice, we believe hospice should come to you—wherever you call home.

Partnering with Your Care Team

Hospice does not replace the care provided by your nursing facility. Instead, we become an extension of your existing care team.

Our experienced hospice professionals work side-by-side with facility nurses, nursing assistants, physicians, therapists, and administrators to provide an additional layer of specialized support focused on comfort, dignity, and quality of life.

Together, we develop a coordinated plan of care centered around each patient’s individual goals and wishes.

Specialized Hospice Support

Our interdisciplinary team provides:

• Expert pain and symptom management
• Regular visits from experienced hospice nurses
• Certified Nursing Assistants for personal care
• Medical Social Workers for emotional support and care planning
• Chaplain services for spiritual support when desired
• Volunteers providing companionship
• Bereavement support for families following the loss of a loved one
• Coordination with physicians and facility staff
• Medical equipment and supplies related to the hospice diagnosis
• 24-hour on-call nursing support

Supporting Residents, Families, and Facility Staff

Choosing hospice should never mean choosing between your facility and hospice care.

Our role is to complement the outstanding care already being provided while bringing additional hospice expertise to patients facing a life-limiting illness.

Families often find comfort knowing there is an entire hospice team working alongside the facility staff—communicating regularly, addressing changes quickly, and helping ensure each resident remains as comfortable as possible.

Facility staff also benefit from having hospice specialists available to assist with symptom management, education, family communication, and coordination of care.

Together, we help create an environment where comfort, dignity, and compassion remain the highest priorities.

Local Care Makes a Difference

As a locally owned and operated hospice, Heartsong Hospice understands the value of personal relationships.

Our leadership team is actively involved in daily operations, allowing us to respond quickly, communicate directly, and make decisions based on what is best for each patient—not what is best for a corporate office.

We are proud to partner with skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, memory care centers, and long-term care facilities throughout the Midlands to provide exceptional hospice care with the compassion every resident deserves.

Wherever Home Is, We Are There.

Whether home is a family house, an assisted living apartment, a skilled nursing facility, or a long-term care community, Heartsong Hospice is honored to provide comfort, dignity, and compassionate care.

Because hospice isn’t about where you live.

It’s about how you live.
