What Makes Us Different

• You don’t have to give up hope to get hospice. Many patients and the loved ones who care for them say they wish hospice care had started sooner.
• Treatments that provide our patients withfort and relief may continue, uninterrupted, even after we’ve started providing hospice care.
• We don’t require that advance directive choices be made such as a “do not resuscitate” order (DNR) or living will to begin providing hospice care.
• When you need care, we’re ready to provide it. Any day of the year, any time of the day, we can initiate hospice care for you or your loved one.
• Our heart stretches across the nation. At any given time, Heartland provides comforting care to thousands of patients in communities and neighborhoods across the country.
• We’re fully accredited by CHAP, the Community Health Accreditation Program. We’ve chosen to follow their additional requirements in order to help advance the highest standards of community-based care.
• Wherever you are in your health care journey, we’re there to meet you.
• As mutual care providers, we work closely with your health care professionals to make sure specific protocols are followed closely.
