A distinguished nonprofit hospice provider since 1983, Regional Hospice walks alongside Fairfield 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 Fairfield.

Compassion, Peace and Dignity
Our team at Regional Hospice believes each individual deserves end-of-life care with dignity and compassion. We support families and patients during this time, giving patients the pain and symptom management tools they need to spend some peaceful moments with the ones they love.
Comfort Versus Curative
Our focus in hospice is on allowing the patient and family a semblance of normalcy during the final months of the patient’s life. We work to provide relief from pain and stress for the patient. Those who may want to consider this option are patients whose terminal illness has a prognosis of 6 months or less and children who have been diagnosed with a life-limiting illness.
A Doctor’s Referral is Not Necessary
Though physicians can certainly refer patients in their care, anyone can request hospice care. We offer an online referral right here on our site for friends, family, clergy, and home care agencies to refer their loved ones within the Fairfield area.
Hospice is Affordable
Whether your health coverage is through a private company, Medicaid, or Medicare, hospice care can be covered.
Our caring team comes to your residence whether it is a Fairfield home, assisted living residence, or skilled nursing facility.
