For some patients, in-home hospice and palliative care is not an option. For these patients and their families, Regional Hospice and Home Care of Western CT, Inc. hopes to build a hospice residence — a peaceful place for compassionate end-of-life care in a welcoming, home-like environment, where quality time with family will be combined with all of the hospice services and programs patients need under one roof. More info on our plans can be found here. A Dec. 21 op-ed in the New York Times clearly explained why this type of residence is important. Read “Looking for a Place to Die.”
