Serving Enoch families at home
Enoch is largely young families and multi-generational households, which changes what hospice looks like in practice. Often the person we are caring for is a grandparent living with an adult child, with kids in the house. That is a good situation clinically — there are hands available — but it needs a plan: what the children see, how to explain it to a seven-year-old, and how to keep an exhausted daughter from carrying it alone.
We handle both. Our social worker is experienced with children in the house, and CNA visits take over the physically hardest parts of the week. And at 5,500 feet with real winters, we stock comfort medications and size oxygen for where you actually live rather than discovering the gap on a snowy night.
We come to wherever home is in Enoch: a private house, a family member’s spare room, an assisted living apartment, memory care, or a skilled nursing facility. The goal is always to avoid one more move.
Also serving nearby: Cedar City, Summit, Parowan, and the homes north along Minersville Highway. Not sure whether your address is inside our service area? Call and ask — the answer is usually yes.

What it costs in Enoch
For most families, nothing out of pocket. Hospice is covered under Medicare Part A, and Utah Medicaid and most private insurance plans cover it on similar terms. We verify your coverage and give you the numbers in writing before anything is signed. See exactly what is and isn’t covered →
Not sure it’s time yet?
That is the most common place families in Enoch start, and it is the right question to ask early rather than late. We wrote a plain-English guide to the signs, the first 48 hours, and how hospice differs from palliative care. Read: how do I know when it’s time? →

Ten out of ten, and no phone tree
Every hospice bills Medicare the same daily rate. What differs is how often somebody actually comes to the house — which is exactly what Medicare’s Hospice Care Index measures.

Staffing decisions are made here in Southern Utah, by people who also go out on visits. You will know your nurse by name.
Nights and weekends
