About The Connecticut Hospice

In 1974 The Connecticut Hospice Inc., a 501(c)(3) not for profit, founded America’s hospice movement. We continue to set the national standard for home and inpatient hospice care and have become a leader in palliative care. Our comprehensive approach to the care of people with advanced illnesses helps ensure the physical and emotional well-being of those we serve.

We provide hospice care in patient homes or at our inpatient facility with medically directed, nurse-coordinated, interdisciplinary teams that continue to provide support through bereavement. Together, our physicians, nurses, pharmacists, social workers, clergy, artists, and trained volunteers actively assist each patient and family to navigate the myriad of challenges surrounding irreversible illness. It is our “team” approach – comprehensive, coordinated palliative care without gaps or duplication – that truly distinguishes Hospice within our health care system.

Anyone with a terminal illness (i.e., an illness that cannot be cured by medical intervention) is eligible to receive hospice care. We create flexible plans of care that enable patients to move back and forth between our home care and in-patient services. For those people who desire control of symptoms, The Connecticut Hospice provides appropriate medical, nursing and alternative interventions to decrease symptoms and discomfort. For those people whose illness is entering its final stages, Connecticut Hospice provides comfort care to eliminate pain and suffering at the end of life.

Our Mission and Vision

We honor patients and families affected by life-limiting illnesses with integrity, support and compassion.
