Hospice care in Toquerville, Utah
Toquerville is small, quiet, and mostly people who wanted exactly that. Nobody who chose a house under the black rock ledges wants to spend their last weeks in a hospital room in another town — and they do not have to.

Serving Toquerville families at home
We care for people at home throughout Toquerville, from the old town streets to the newer homes up on the bench. The houses are spread out here and the lots are large, so we plan routes and deliveries accordingly instead of finding out the hard way on the first difficult night.
Small towns also mean neighbors who genuinely show up. We work with that rather than around it: our nurse will teach a neighbor or a church friend the same things we teach a daughter, if that is who is actually in the house at three in the afternoon. We serve La Verkin, Hurricane, and Ash Creek nearby.
We come to wherever home is in Toquerville: 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: La Verkin, Hurricane, Anderson Junction, and the Ash Creek homes. Not sure whether your address is inside our service area? Call and ask — the answer is usually yes.

What it costs in Toquerville
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 Toquerville 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.
