Patients and families face special challenges in the final weeks of life, challenges a Hospice House is built specifically to meet. Only a Hospice House can fill this specific, sacred, important niche in our community’s healthcare network.
As a resident of the Hospice House, you will have a private room with many of the comforts of home and space for visiting family and friends. You will also have all of the medical, emotional and spiritual care services Hospice of Spokane has to offer. Physicians, nurses and nurse aides, social workers, chaplains and volunteers – all coming right to you to help in their own ways.
When you are in the Hospice House, don’t worry about the prescription drugs related to your terminal illness… we’ll take care of them. If you need special equipment that we don’t have in the house, or your treatment calls for special therapies, we’ll address those needs, too.
Being in the Hospice House means you can get the same level of hospice care you would receive in a hospital or nursing home. Being in the house means you won’t need to move from one location to another as your health changes.
Feel Right At Home
At the Hospice House you and your family will feel right at home. Have a meal in the family dining room, or have it in the privacy of your own room. Sit and watch the day go by from the interior courtyard or in one of the gardens. Sit by the fireplace in the great room. Get a breath of fresh air on your private patio. Sit, contemplate, meditate or pray in the reflection room. Children can watch a cartoon in a room built especially for them. We hope this short video gives you an idea of what the Hospice House is all about.
Financial Considerations
Hospice of Spokane’s Hospice House offers general inpatient, routine, and respite care. Levels of care are determined by your Hospice team. Depending upon your level of care, some days at the Hospice House may include a daily room and board charge, comparable to other residential accommodations available in the area. Financial assistance is available to families unable to pay the full charge, based on need.
