Home Hospice Care
At Three Oaks Hospice, we believe that comfort, dignity, and quality of life matter most during life’s final chapter. Our hospice care at home program brings compassionate physical, emotional, and spiritual support directly to patients—wherever they call home.
Whether care takes place in the patient’s own residence, a loved one’s home, an assisted living community, or a nursing home, our goal is to help each person live fully and peacefully in the time they have.
What is Hospice Care at Home?
In-home hospice care is designed to support individuals with a terminal illness in their chosen setting. For many, that means staying in the comfort of home. For others, it may be a family member’s residence, an assisted living facility, or a nursing home.
Rather than seeking to cure, hospice care focuses on comfort, symptom management, and emotional well-being, with an interdisciplinary team supporting both the patient and their loved ones.
Who Is Eligible for Hospice Care?
A person may qualify for hospice care when they have a life-limiting illness with a life expectancy of six months or less, as certified by a physician. Common conditions include:

The Benefits of Hospice Care at Home
Hospice at home allows patients to receive care in a setting that brings them peace. Key benefits include:
- Remaining in familiar surroundings
- Flexible visitation and deeper family connection
- Personalized care focused on symptom and pain relief
- Emotional and spiritual support for patients and families
- Reduced need for hospital visits or institutional care
Caregivers also benefit, gaining education, relief, and support as they navigate this journey with their loved one.
Why the Environment Matters
A comforting, homelike setting can make a profound difference during end-of-life care. In fact, studies show that 70% of people would prefer to spend their final days at home rather than in a hospital or nursing facility. Familiar environments help reduce fear and bring emotional security—surrounded by the people and belongings that matter most.

Transitioning from Traditional Medical Care
While traditional care focuses on treating and curing illness, hospice care emphasizes comfort, dignity, and quality of time remaining. When curative treatment is no longer effective—or no longer aligns with the patient’s goals—hospice becomes a compassionate choice.
Starting hospice care earlier can provide greater relief and support, allowing families to focus on making meaningful memories together.
When Is the Right Time to Begin Hospice Care?
The right time is a personal decision—but having the conversation early is important. We encourage patients and families to speak with their physician to understand what’s ahead and explore the benefits of hospice.
Most experts agree: earlier support leads to better outcomes for everyone involved.
Preparing for Hospice at Home
There are a few important considerations when planning for in-home hospice care, such as:
- Does the patient have specific religious or cultural needs?
- What kind of assistance will caregivers need from the hospice team?
- Are there additional resources or community support services that may help?
Our hospice care team will guide you through each step of the planning process and help tailor a care plan that respects your family’s values and preferences.
