Hospice care in St. George, Utah
St. George is where most of our patients live, and where most of our nurses do. That means short drive times: from Bloomington to Little Valley, from the Dixie Downs neighborhoods to the newer developments out past Mall Drive, a nurse can be at the door quickly when a symptom changes at nine at night.

Serving St. George families at home
It also means we know the local system. We coordinate routinely with the hospitals and specialty practices in town, with the assisted living and memory care communities along River Road and Bluff Street, and with the skilled nursing facilities where many families first hear the word “hospice.” If your loved one is being discharged, call us before the paperwork is done and we will meet the discharge — bed, oxygen, and comfort medications waiting at the house.
St. George also has a particular pattern we plan around: winter residents and out-of-state adult children. If the family making decisions is in Salt Lake, Las Vegas, or California, we will do the calls on a schedule that works across time zones and keep everyone on the same page rather than making one sibling relay everything.
We come to wherever home is in St. George: 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: Bloomington, Bloomington Hills, Dixie Downs, Little Valley, Middleton, Green Valley, Sunbrook, Santa Clara Heights, Washington Fields, and Downtown St. George. Not sure whether your address is inside our service area? Call and ask — the answer is usually yes.
What St. George 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.

- 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 St. George
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 St. George 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.
Locally owned, ten people
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
After-hours calls reach our own nurse — and a nurse will come out. Fewer emergency room trips at 2am.
