Hospice care in Washington, Utah
Washington City has grown quickly, and a lot of that growth is people who retired here from somewhere else. When the family making decisions lives two states away, the coordination is half the work — and we do that half.

Serving Washington families at home
Practically, Washington is minutes from our St. George team, so response times here are among our fastest. We serve private homes throughout Coral Canyon, Green Springs, Sienna Hills, Washington Fields, and the older neighborhoods near Telegraph Street, along with the assisted living and memory care communities in the area.
For families spread across states, we will schedule calls so everyone hears the same information from us at the same time, rather than making one adult child translate a nurse’s update for four siblings. It removes a surprising amount of friction from an already hard month.
We come to wherever home is in Washington: 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: Coral Canyon, Green Springs, Sienna Hills, Washington Fields, Warner Valley, and the neighborhoods along Telegraph Street. Not sure whether your address is inside our service area? Call and ask — the answer is usually yes.
What Washington 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 Washington
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 Washington 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.
