Valor HospiceCare & PalliativeCare - Providing the Gift of Peace, Comfort and Dignity

Referrals & Insurance Benefits

Referrals and Electing Hospice Care

The three steps to receiving hospice care include:

1) Are you ready for hospice care?
2) Selecting a hospice.
3) Contact Us.

If your doctor believes that further treatment is unlikely to alter the disease process, hospice care can offer the alternative of comfort care in your home.

From physicians to friends, family members or neighbors, anyone can make a referral for hospice care. Valor HospiceCare & PalliativeCare team members are available by phone 24-hours a day, seven days a week. When a referral is made, a Valor HospiceCare & PalliativeCare representative will schedule a visit with the patient and/or their loved ones, to assess the best type of care options available. Care can begin usually within a day of a referral. Call toll-free at 1.877.615.3996.
