Hospice

​Hospice of the South Shore is a Medicare-certified hospice program providing care for terminally ill patients regardless of the diagnosis. Our hospice team works closely with our patient’s physician to determine eligibility and will travel to wherever you are—whether that is your home or an assisted living or skilled nursing facility. Our care team is on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week for emergency consultations, support and skilled nursing visits.

Our patient-and-family centered approach is based on love, compassion, and genuine caring. It embraces the whole person and encompasses the physical, spiritual and emotional aspects of care. 

Hospice of the South Shore is led by a medical director who provides expertise to the team to ensure the highest quality of care for our patients. Working closely with each patient’s primary physician, the care team works alongside the patient, their family, and caregiver to create individualized plans to aggressively manage symptoms and pain with the goal of keeping patients comfortable at home.
