Short-term, skilled medical care at home after illness, injury, or hospitalization.
Specialized, evidence-based dementia support for patients and families.
Care focused on symptom relief, quality of life, and practical support for serious or progressive illness.
Home care at The Connecticut Hospice brings medical expertise, compassionate support, and continuity of care to patients and families in the place they feel most comfortable: at home, in skilled nursing facilities, or in assisted living settings.
Guided by a dedicated hospice, palliative, or skilled care team, our home care programs provide nursing and hands-on clinical support, along with emotional, spiritual, and practical counseling for patients and their loved ones. Services are tailored to individual needs and evolve as conditions change, ensuring support at every stage of illness.
Home care may be the right choice for patients who prefer to remain at home while receiving professional medical and supportive care. Our teams work closely with patients, families, and community providers to coordinate services and maintain continuity across care settings.
Our 52-bed waterfront hospital is available to all our home care patients, as well as new patients referred by families or our community partners.
This facility provides 24/7 expert-level symptom management, including infused pain medications and rapid dose adjustments for patients whose symptoms cannot be managed at home.
Our home care services support patients in private homes, assisted living communities, and skilled nursing facilities across all levels of palliative and hospice care.
Care is delivered by interdisciplinary teams focused on comfort, caregiver support, and continuity, allowing patients to remain at home whenever clinically appropriate.
Admission to The Connecticut Hospice is a collaborative process guided by each patient’s needs and goals of care.
Our team works closely with patients, families, and referring providers to ensure the right level of support, in the right setting, at the right time.
At The Connecticut Hospice, families and caregivers are an essential part of the care experience. That’s why we support patients and the people who love them together.
Care plans are shaped around shared goals, personal needs, and what matters most in daily life. Our interdisciplinary team works across settings and services to ensure care is coordinated, responsive, and attentive to the emotional, social, and spiritual well-being of everyone involved.
We help bring clarity and compassion to serious illness, so patients and loved ones can focus on the moments that matter most.
As a local not-for-profit, The Connecticut Hospice relies on donor support to provide individualized services and therapies not fully covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance.
Your generosity helps ensure that every patient and family receives the care, comfort, and support they need, regardless of circumstances.
