Referrals and Electing Hospice Care

The three steps to receiving hospice care include:

1) Are you or a loved one ready for hospice care?
2) Selecting a hospice.
3) Contact Us.

If your doctor believes that further treatment is unlikely to alter the disease process, hospice care can offer the alternative of comfort care in your home.

From physicians to friends, family members or neighbors, anyone can make a referral for hospice care. Valor HospiceCare & The Institute for Palliative Medicine team members are available by phone 24-hours a day, seven days a week. When a referral is made, a Valor HospiceCare representative will schedule a visit with the patient and/or their loved ones, to assess the best type of care options available. Care can begin usually within a day of a referral. Call toll-free at 1.877.615.3996.
