Compassion, Peace and Dignity
At these sensitive and tender times of life, Regional Hospice offers complete support and fidelity. Our team members are here to provide comfort and care for both the individual and family members. We make sure every Weston patient is treated with compassion, peace, and dignity.

Comfort Versus Curative
It is not always easy to decide when to move to hospice or when to consider it an option. We recommend when there has been a terminal prognosis, typically of 6 months or less. If a young child is enduring a life-limiting condition, pediatric hospice should also be considered. Every option provides quality care at this time of the patient’s life.

A Doctor’s Referral is Not Necessary
When it comes to requesting hospice care, a doctor’s referral is not necessary or required. Several of our hospice recommendations can come from family members, friends, and others. Online referrals are offered for your complete convenience.
