Care That Fits Into Daily Life
Outpatient care at The Connecticut Hospice provides medical and supportive services for patients who need clinical attention while remaining connected to home, family, and everyday routines. These services allow patients to receive timely treatment, skilled interventions, symptom management, and care coordination at home.

When Is Outpatient Care the Right Choice?
Outpatient care may be appropriate for people living with serious or progressive illness who need additional monitoring, guidance, or short-term medical intervention as part of an ongoing plan of care.
The goal is simple: address what needs attention now, help stabilize symptoms, and allow patients to return home the same day whenever possible. Care is thoughtful, responsive, and designed to complement home-based, palliative, or hospice services already in place.
A Thoughtful Alternative to Emergency Care
Many concerns that lead families to the emergency room can be addressed through outpatient care. Our programs offer a calmer, more coordinated option, reducing unnecessary hospital admissions and helping care continue smoothly.
Patients are supported by an interdisciplinary team focused on comfort, follow-up, and continuity. Care plans evolve alongside the patient’s needs and goals while remaining connected and consistent.
