  • Are patients with a very limited life expectancy the only ones admitted to Sanctuary Hospice House?

    No, we accept patients in all phases of their care, from those in a crisis such as pain control, respiratory distress, or acute change in status, to those who are approaching the end of life. Patients come to Sanctuary for many reasons. Some are too ill to be cared for at home or may not have appropriate caregivers. Many patients also come with the full intent of returning to their home. They simply need help managing their medications or learning how to handle a new disease challenge that has come their way.

  • How do I pay for hospice care?

    Sanctuary Hospice cares for everyone who can be admitted, regardless of the ability to pay.
