Who We Are and Why We Serve Ansonia?

Since 1983, Regional Hospice has provided care choices for terminal patients and their families during the sacred end-of-life transition. Our Center for Comfort Care & Healing is the first hospice residence of its kind in Connecticut and is available to anyone in the U.S. Ansonia residents benefit from 24/7 clinical care in private suites with screened in balconies, wood furnishings and chef-prepared custom meals.

Compassion, Peace and Dignity
In order to make your loved one as comfortable as possible, each of our staff members will treat them with respect, dignity, and love. We only hire the most compassionate employees, knowing that a high quality of life depends a lot on how patients are treated while under our care.
