New England Hospice’s mission of “Dignified Care Provided with Love and Compassion”

is put into practice every day. Yet bringing comfort to terminally ill patients and their families is more than a mission—it’s a way of delivering care that addresses the needs

of the patient and family at this critical time in their lives. Whether comfort takes the form of physical, emotional or spiritual care, our interdisciplinary team is ready to provide comprehensive hospice services.

Most patients and families want to receive care in the home. More than 90 percent of New England Hospice services are delivered in patients' homes or in homelike settings such as community-based residential facilities, assisted living facilities and nursing homes.

Many factors influence where patients and families receive care—wishes and desires, symptoms, the patient’s support network and much more. But regardless of the setting, New England Hospice’s team approach to providing compassionate end-of-life care remains the same.
