Testimonials of our care
"Housecall Providers Hospice is amazing. The nurses are well versed in all aspects of end-of-life care. The nurses and providers are very prompt with any orders or questions. If my time has come I would like Housecall Providers Hospice to take care of me. Thank you for all you do for our loved ones."
"I have just ended three months working with Housecall Providers for the care of my husband. The team I worked with was kind, professional and dedicated. There was always someone to help me when I needed it. As my husband’s mental abilities declined, they still treated him with respect and kindness. If you are looking for a hospice provider, I highly recommend this organization."
"Housecall Providers Hospice did a great job as my mom was in her last days and weeks. They provide the perfect balance of caring and professionalism in the most crucial times. I can’t say enough good things about my experience."

Why choose nonprofit hospice care?
Nonprofit hospices, like Housecall Providers Hospice, prioritize patient well-being and holistic care over financial gain, operating with fundamentally different philosophies, goals and impacts on the patients, families and communities they serve in comparison to for-profit hospices.
This focus is reflected in resource allocation, as nonprofit hospices deliver 10% more nursing visits, 35% more social worker visits and twice as many therapy visits per day, per 100 patients.
By contrast, for‑profit hospices spend over 300% more on advertising, invest less than half as much in bereavement services and maintain a 19.9% profit margin compared to 3% for nonprofits – retaining a far greater share of Medicare payments as profit, while nonprofits reinvest most revenue into patient care and community support.

Hospice or palliative care - which is right for me?
In addition to hospice care, we also offer community-based palliative care through the Housecall Providers Advanced Illness Care program. Hospice care and palliative care both focus on the comfort, care and quality-of-life of individuals with a serious illness. Hospice care is a specific type of palliative care that is provided in the final weeks or months of life.
Our team is available to help you learn more about these two types of care to determine which may be most appropriate for you or a loved one.
