Our Services
What is Hospice
Hospice care is specialized medical care for individuals facing a life-limiting illness, typically when curative treatment is no longer the focus.
Spiritual Care
Hospice cares for the whole person — body, mind, and spirit. Abbey Hospice chaplains provide a safe, supportive space to explore spiritual questions and share what’s on your heart.
Bereavement
Grief does not end when hospice care ends. Abbey Hospice provides bereavement services for families for at least 13 months following a loved one’s passing.
Inpatient Facility
The facility provides short-term symptom management and respite care for patients whose pain or symptoms cannot be safely managed at home.
Our Service Areas
We provide hospice care within a broad regional service area to ensure families have access to quality end-of-life care close to home.
Volunteer
Volunteers are needed daily at Abbey Hospice and in the field. Opportunities are tailored to your background and interests.

Compassionate Care That Puts You First
At Abbey Hospice, we are committed to creating a supportive and comforting environment for both patients and families. We recognize that healing and comfort come in many forms, which is why we welcome support animals during visits.

Seamless, Responsive Care
To ensure timely and efficient support, Abbey Hospice maintains its own on-site pharmacy and medical supplies. This allows our team to respond quickly to patient needs, minimize delays, and provide consistent, uninterrupted care when it matters most.
