Hospital-based care at The Connecticut Hospice includes a range of services designed to meet patients where they are, clinically and personally. Care may be short-term or ongoing and is always coordinated with home-based services wherever possible.
Our hospital is available to both existing home care patients and individuals referred by families or our community partners.
Our licensed, 52-bed hospital is the only dedicated palliative care and hospice hospital in Connecticut.
Located on the shores of Long Island Sound, it provides a calm, supportive environment for inpatient hospice care, short-term acute needs, respite care, and palliative services, while remaining closely connected to home-based care when patients are ready to return home.
Care is available 24/7, provided by an experienced interdisciplinary team focused on comfort, stability, and support.
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.
