Welcome to The Connecticut Hospice |

Connecticut Hospice was the birthplace of the hospice movement in America. Today we are commonly known simply as Hospice, still setting the national standard for home and inpatient hospice care and nursing. Connecticut Hospice serves anyone in need regardless of ability to pay. Your generous donations help us to provide inpatient and home care that empower the dying to live their final days in dignity and comfort. Your contributions also pay for the free care we provide at the end of life, so that the Hospice patients and their families are not additionally burdened. About The Connecticut HospiceThe Connecticut Hospice inaugurated hospice care in America in 1974.
Since then, it has been the beacon and teacher of the growing hospice
movement throughout the nation, and beyond. The Connecticut Hospice, Inc. – The First and The BestHospice does not take a narrow view of complexities of the needs of patients with an irreversible illness and their families. While the control of physical pain and other physical symptoms is the central and primary concern for caregivers, it is not the only priority. The patient with an irreversible illness suffers from an array of emotional, spiritual, social and financial problems. The rationale for Hospice caregiving is that it is impossible for any one discipline to provide the range of services required. Through the team approach, Hospice helps patients and families attain optimum quality of life. |
