Hospice. It isn’t a place; it’s a new way of thinking. About your life-limiting illness, and the way you want to live now.
Advanced medical care can do wonders. But at some point a decision may have to be made — not about ceasing all care, but about weighing the benefits of a certain course of treatment against the burdens of that treatment.
Hospice is a different kind of care, one that helps you and your caregivers better manage your pain and symptoms. So that you can more fully experience the time you have left.
It’s your life. You can choose how to live it. And every day, more patients and their families are choosing to find hope in hospice.
Understanding What Hospice Care Actually Is - Compassionate Care
There are far too many misconceptions about what Hospice Care actually is. It’s been given a negative reputation simply because it’s associated with life limiting illness. We understand these preconceived opinions, beliefs, and misconceptions. Our intention is to help people to better understand the concept of hospice care, as well as dispel any misunderstandings associated with this type of health care.
Hospice is in no way about giving up. Once truly understood, an opinion of hope and compassion will begin to form. It’s about spending time with your family and friends without the constraints of debilitating pain and discomfort. Our patients are not their illness, we strive to improve quality of life and understand that every second is precious. Our team of professionals will make sure that you and you’re loved ones are fully informed and well-prepared for the hospice journey.
Introduction To Hospice Care Services - CCHLV Las Vegas, Nevada
Hospice Care is a way to live with dignity, respect, and free of any pain and discomfort associated with a life limiting illness. With CompassionCare Hospice you're in control.
Quality of life is the primary objective of Hospice Care. With Hospice Care the focus shifts to improving the patient’s quality of life and overall health and well-being. These are patients who have been diagnosed with a life-limiting illness, and rather than continuing a treatment plan with recovery from the illness being the objective, we strive to maintain comfort and dignity. Hospice care is designed to relieve the pain and suffering of the patient through means of early identification, planning, assessment and treatment. A hospice care plan involves treatment of physical, psychological and spiritual health conditions. Hospice is not a place where you go to give up, Hospice is a place you go to live without the debilitating pain and discomfort of an illness. Our Hospice Care provides our patients with the ability to truly enjoy the precious time they have left with their loved ones.

Most of our patients will qualify for coverage through Medicare or Medicaid. The process can be started by contacting a representative of CompassionCare Hospice. We're located in Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada. Call us today for more information.
Most of our patients qualify for coverage through Medicare or Medicaid. Medicare pays all expenses related to hospice care — including nursing services, therapy, medications, supplies and the use of durable medical equipment.
This remarkable benefit is available to those who are enrolled in Medicare Part A and who are certified as having a life-limiting illness leaving them with life expectancy of six months or less. Medicare coverage for services unrelated to hospice stays the same, and patients can keep their personal physician if they choose.
CompassionCare also accepts most private insurance plans, and provides services to military personnel in partnership with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
If none of those options are available to you, contact us to discuss your situation. CompassionCare Hospice of Southern Nevada accepts patients without regard to their ability to pay.
