New Milford Hospice Care

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

Our Patients’ Stories

Our Mission

Compassion, Peace and Dignity
We provide support and comfort while you, the patient and your family are going through this turbulent time. We make sure to maintain compassion, peace and dignity in your lives, and work with their situation to improve their quality of life and strive for new goals in the last stage of their lives.


Comfort Versus Curative

Hospice care should be thought about if the patient is a child suffering from a grave illness or if there is a terminal prognosis of 6 months or less, which is when a disease runs its normal course. We want to give your loved one the best possible way to spend their remaining days.

A Doctor’s Referral is Not Necessary
Anyone may request hospice care. Whether your loved one is referred by a New Milford hospital, clergy or through friends and family, an online hospice referral can be completed through our website, and will be admitted under a physician’s direction.



Hospice is Affordable

Medicare, Medicaid and many private health insurances cover hospice care, which allows you to provide them with safe and exceptional care.
