A distinguished nonprofit hospice provider since 1983, Regional Hospice walks alongside Poughquag 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― benefit from our in-patient 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 Poughquag.
For our Poughquag patients who have life-limited and advanced illnesses, our team of caregivers provide specialized treatment that helps with their many discomforts as well as their mental and emotional hardships.
Our industry recognized facility offers the highest quality pediatric care to our terminally ill Poughquag child patients. We provide both prenatal and pediatric hospice care and are steadfast in offering comfort and services needed to family members to help with their challenging life’s journey.

The Center replicates the comforts of home, where loved ones can focus on quality time together.

Compassion, Peace and Dignity
The team here at Regional Hospice takes pride in offering your loved ones the peace and comfort they deserve at such a delicate time in their lives by giving focus to helping all of our end of life patients improve their overall quality of life in their final days.
Comfort Versus Curative
We also are recognized for our specialized in-patient hospice care and treatment we provide to children 6 months of age and younger who have been diagnosed with a terminal prognosis. The team here at Regional Hospice understands full well the challenges, the emotions and the hardships endured and strive to deliver superior care and treatment to children while offering comfort to loved ones.
A Doctor’s Referral is Not Necessary
We will admit any individual who requests our hospice care without a doctor’s referral. All individuals will be placed under the care of one of our dedicated doctors. Referrals can, however, be made on our site.
Hospice is Affordable
The peace of mind needed by family members who are watching a loved one die, to know that they will receive the specialized hospice care they need can be met by most private health insurance plans as well as Medicare and Medicaid. These insurance plans typically provide needed coverage for your loved ones and afford you the comfort you need knowing they will be properly cared for.
We are also proud of our Pediatric and Perinatal Hospice Programs that provide our Poughquag families who have infants and children that have been diagnosed with a terminal illness, with physical, emotional and spiritual help. Our dedicated team is on hand every step of your difficult path travelled from pregnancy, labor, and birth, to life, misfortune and remembrance.
