Visitors are welcome 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There is no limit on the number of visitors. Our facility is a weapons free facility.
Finding Your Way to Patient Care Suites
Our staff and volunteers are always available to help you find your way. Our suites are individually numbered and signs at every hall entryway identify which rooms you will find in each hallway. We have many spaces dedicated to making visitors and family members comfortable when they are here to see patients.
Family Gathering Spaces
Visits from children are welcome. We ask that adults supervise all children during visits. Please control noise levels and help us protect our building and grounds from damage as a consideration for all families at our Hospice House.
Pets
We welcome pets to our Hospice House. We ask that they are supervised by and adult and taken outside when needed. For the health and safety of all patients and families, visiting pets must be on a leash at all times. Pet Stations are located on the grounds to enable pet owners to pick up after their pets.
We also have pet therapy animals that visit patient rooms. Patients who wish not to have pet visits can ask to be removed from the visitation list. All of our therapy pets are on limited diets and must be on a leash when outdoors. We ask that visitors not give them pet treats and not permit them to go outside unsupervised.
