A distinguished nonprofit hospice provider since 1983, Regional Hospice walks alongside Waterbury 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 four 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 greater Waterbury.
You can arrange for hospice care in your Waterbury home for your loved one with a terminal illness. Regardless of age we will support them emotionally, spiritually and physically.
We have a state-of-the-art hospice center in Danbury, CT. It features gourmet meals, accommodations for families, care and therapies and private suites for your loved one.
We support you while you go through the very difficult process or taking care of a baby or child with a terminal condition with your prenatal and pediatric hospice care.
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. Waterbury residents benefit from 24/7 clinical care in private suites with screened in balconies, wood furnishings and chef-prepared custom meals. The Center replicates the comforts of home, where loved ones can focus on quality time together.
We provide exceptional and convenient hospice care services all day, every day, whether it’s inside of your Waterbury home or inside of our Danbury facility, the Center for Comfort Care and Healing.
We design individualized, custom care plans that are made to meet each patient’s needs for pain management and symptom control. We also provide special services such as speech, physical and occupational therapy, and they are regularly serviced by our physicians, registered nurses, social workers, chaplains, hospice care aides and trained hospice volunteers.
Compassion, Peace and Dignity
We give you and your loved one’s support with the compassion, peace and dignity they deserve during this difficult time. We strive to give end-of-life patients new goals and improve the quality of their lives with symptom and pain management.
Comfort Versus Curative
If there is a terminal prognosis of 6 months or less (a disease that has run its normal course) or if you have a child suffering from life-limiting illness, consider giving them hospice services. We want to give them the highest quality of life during the last stage of their lives.
A Doctor’s Referral is Not Necessary
Anyone in Waterbury can request hospice care, and a patient can be referred to by anyone so long as they are admitted under a physician’s direction. An online hospice referral can be completed through our site for your convenience.
Hospice is Affordable
Hospice care is covered by most private health insurances, along with Medicare and Medicaid, to help make the care for your loved one more affordable.
Whether your loved one lives in a house, assisted nursing residence or skilled nursing facility, Home Hospice Care will come to them.
