Hospice &
Palliative Care
Specialized, compassionate care designed to make a patient’s final days comfortable and meaningful. Our family-centered approach is delivered wherever the patient calls home, whether in their own residence or at a PruittHealth skilled nursing, assisted, or independent living community.
At PruittHealth, hospice care is a family-focused approach to end-of-life support, helping patients live their final days with comfort, dignity, and the love of those closest to them.
Our interdisciplinary team, including nurses, social workers, certified nursing assistants, chaplains, and volunteers, provides individualized care 24/7 in the setting that feels most like home.
Hospice care is not about hastening or delaying death. It’s about prioritizing the person over the disease, focusing on quality of life, and involving both patients and families in every decision. With PruittHealth, hospice care is always compassionate, family-centered, and tailored to meet each patient’s unique needs.
Hospice care is designed for patients facing a life-limiting illness with a prognosis of six months or less. At PruittHealth, our hospice experts provide compassionate, personalized support for patients and their families during this critical time.
Life-limiting illnesses and conditions we care for include:
PruittHealth Hospice provides compassionate care that helps patients live their final days with comfort, dignity, and peace, surrounded by the people they cherish most.
Palliative care is specialized support for patients living with acute or chronic illnesses, focused on relieving symptoms, reducing stress, and improving overall quality of life. It can be provided at any stage of an illness and can be offered alongside treatments aimed at curing the condition.
The goal of palliative care is to ease suffering, provide ongoing medical and emotional support, and help patients live as comfortably and fully as possible while managing serious health challenges.

Medicare covers services such as nursing care, pain management, counseling, medical equipment, and medications related to the terminal illness. The goal of hospice care is to provide comfort and support rather than curative treatment.
Hospice provides compassionate care for individuals facing terminal illnesses. Services focus on comfort and quality of life, including:

Yes, a person can request hospice care if they meet eligibility criteria. A doctor must certify the patient’s terminal illness and limited life expectancy. Individuals can contact a hospice provider directly or discuss this option with their healthcare team.
No, palliative care and hospice are not the same, though they share a focus on comfort and quality of life. Palliative care is available to patients at any stage of a serious illness and can be provided alongside curative treatments. Hospice, on the other hand, is specifically for patients nearing the end of life who are no longer pursuing curative measures.
