Care. Comfort. Dignity.​

The end of life deserves as much beauty, care and respect as the beginning.

Our Mission

We honor life by providing care, comfort and dignity to those we serve.
For nearly 12 years New England Hospice has been serving patients and families facing serious illnesses and providing support to those who have lost loved ones. We maintain that hospice is about life and the quality of time we have left.

New England Hospice typically provides 9-14 hours a week of additional care- more than twice the national average! 

Our team is available 24/7 in order to meet the needs of our patients and families whenever necessary.
