A distinguished nonprofit hospice provider since 1983, Regional Hospice walks alongside New Canaan patients and their loved ones enabling those in our care to focus on what matters: living fully when facing life-limiting illness. Patients of all ages―from babies to adults―in private homes, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities in three Connecticut counties benefit from our services. Our Danbury Center for Comfort Care & Healing is the first residential hospice center of its kind in Connecticut, offering all the comforts and amenities of home to patients throughout New Canaan.

Compassion, Peace and Dignity
We understand this is a difficult time, and we will support you and your loved ones by treating your family with kindness, dignity, and serenity. Our work includes symptom and pain management so end-of-life patients can have an improved quality of life.
Comfort Versus Curative
Hospice should be considered when a patient has a terminal prognosis of 6 months or less (such as a disease that has run its normal course) or a child experiencing life-limiting illness. Our mission is to provide your loved one the highest quality of life during their final days.
A Doctor’s Referral is Not Necessary
Hospice care is not strictly available with a doctor’s referral, but is available through a hospital, clergy, family, friend, or other home care agency referral. The patient is admitted under a physician’s direction. Conveniently complete an online hospice referral through our website.
Hospice is Affordable
Most private health insurances in addition to Medicare and Medicaid cover hospice. This can allow you to give your loved one high-quality care without worrying about cost.
No matter where your loved one resides, Home Hospice Care comes to you, whether it is in a home, assisted living residence, or skilled nursing facility.
