Hospice care in Santa Clara, Utah
Santa Clara is a small town where families tend to be large, close, and already doing the caregiving. What people here usually need from hospice is not to be taken over — it is expert backup for the care they are already giving.

Serving Santa Clara families at home
That is the version of hospice we are built for. Our nurses teach rather than take over: how to stay ahead of pain instead of chasing it, how to tell restlessness from discomfort, what the last weeks tend to look like so nothing arrives as a shock at two in the morning. Then we stay reachable, at any hour, so nobody has to guess.
We serve homes throughout Santa Clara — the older streets along the Santa Clara River, the Heights, and the newer neighborhoods toward Ivins — plus local assisted living communities. Because we are minutes away in St. George, a visit here is a short trip, not an expedition.
We come to wherever home is in Santa Clara: 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: Santa Clara Heights, the neighborhoods along the Santa Clara River, and the streets bordering Ivins. Not sure whether your address is inside our service area? Call and ask — the answer is usually yes.
What Santa Clara families get
- A registered nurse (RN) on call 24 hours a day — reaching our own team, not a third-party answering service, and able to come out at night.
- Certified nursing assistant (CNA) visits for bathing, grooming, and personal care, from CNAs we train in-house.
- Aggressive pain and symptom management, adjusted as often as it takes and overseen by our medical director, Dr. Karen Radley.
- Medications, equipment, and supplies related to the hospice diagnosis — delivered to your door and set up.
- Social work, chaplaincy, massage therapy, and volunteers as part of the same benefit, at no additional cost.
- Bereavement support for 13 months after a death, for the whole family.
What it costs in Santa Clara
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 Santa Clara 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? →
Why families here choose us
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
