Hospice Care Services
Hospice is an approach to care, which means it is not tied to a specific place.
Hospice care can be offered in many types of settings including private residences, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, as well as dedicated hospice facilities. Most often care is provided in a private home with a family member typically serving as the primary caregiver, but it can also occur in a nursing home or wherever the patient calls home.
Home Hospice Care
Care delivered in the home, wherever the patient calls home, with prescheduled visits from hospice team members. Family, friends or caregivers serve as the primary caregiver in the patient’s familiar environment.
Is it time for Hospice?
Hospice care can begin when a doctor decides that your loved one’s life expectancy is six months or less if the illness follows its predicted path.
Inpatient Care
When your loved one experiences symptoms too severe to be managed at home, short-stay inpatient care is available. Hospice professionals provide round-the-clock care and support.
Hospice Support Services
Grief and Loss Support
Grief and loss services for those who have experienced the death of a loved one and who may need support or guidance in dealing with their sorrow. Grief support groups and individual grief counseling are available.
Emotional and Spiritual Support
Treating both the physical needs as well as the emotional and spiritual needs of terminally ill patients is an essential principle of hospice care.

There are so many reasons to choose Harry Hynes Hospice – but the most important is the exceptional care and support we give to our patients and their families.
Thank you for all the fabulous care you gave our Dad over the last 6 years between palliative care and hospice. He always enjoyed your visits. One of your nurses was the rock that cared for him most recently. Thank you to the Chaplain for meeting with my brother and I. And for being here for us at Dad’s graveside.

Even though our mom was in your hospice care less than 24 hours, the loving care that was provided by all staff was exemplary and greatly appreciated.

My wife and I agree that if we could give Harry Hynes a 10+ we would. You have cared for three of our loved ones in the last 4 years. We wouldn’t use anybody else in this business.
Thank you so much for caring for us and being here (for us also) to the end for our Mother who passed. Your organization is absolutely wonderful. We want to express special praise for Brittany, Megan, Janet, Mindy, Rebecca, Samantha, LaNier, and Okkyoung. We wouldn’t have known what to do to get through these last few months without you folks. Like my wife says you all are a fine-tuned organization of specially trained Ninjas! Always organized, knowledgeable, wonderfully compassionate, and work so well together and are always there, 24/7, 365 days a year. We will be forever grateful.

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone at Harry Hynes Hospice, especially those who are helping care for my mother.
This has been a very isolating experience. I am the only relative here to take care of Mom, and while I am incredibly grateful for how much my husband has helped, it has still been difficult. Over time, I’ve watched many of Mom’s friends and colleagues stop visiting, and I’ve found that even my own friends often seem uncomfortable asking about her. Because of that, this journey has felt especially lonely.
That changed when your team arrived. Because of the compassion, professionalism, and genuine care shown by everyone at Harry Hynes Memorial Hospice, I have felt truly
supported. It has meant so much to have others checking in on Mom and helping care for her.
I am especially grateful to Taryn, Lanier & Ciara. They have created a sense of family for me during an incredibly difficult time, and that has meant more than I can adequately put into words.
Thank you for the dignity, respect, and compassion that Harry Hynes Hospice has brought into our lives. We will always be grateful.

To my dad’s caregivers –
No words can express how grateful we are for the care and comfort you gave to my dad on his journey. We don’t know how we would have gotten through these past few months without your visits and invaluable insights. He was a good man and we will miss him.

It was so difficult witnessing my beloved husband in his sick body decline and lose it’s life! I couldn’t have endured it without you and your loving, tender and compassionate care for him. You were always there when we needed you. Chaplin Chris’ prayers and support of us knowing God was always present and ready to take my husband. In Those last days God was joining with my husband’s soul until he was taken and they are one now. Although the dying process was difficult I was with him through it all. How fortunate and blessed both of us are to have had that. Thank you for your comfort care!
Wife of Patient Served
Thank you all, for the care you gave our dad. The dignity, respect and compassion you showed towards our father meant a lot to all of us. Of course we truly appreciated the compassion you showed our entire family. All of you have a special gift that not everyone has. We are so grateful.

To the staff at Harry Hynes
This note is not enough to express our deep appreciation for the love, care and grace you shared with and gave our mother. From the nursing staff, social workers, chaplains and call center. We were always treated as your only patient family. Your steadfast commitment to her will always be remembered.
