Hospice Care

St. Anthony Hospice provides comfort, support and compassionate care for persons in the final stages of an incurable illness such as heart disease, kidney failure, Alzheimer’s disease, lung disease or other life-limiting illnesses. Hospice enables them to live as fully and comfortably as possible until death comes peacefully and naturally. St. Anthony Hospice support services include the patient’s family physician, as well as a team of nurses, home health aides, homemakers, social worker, medical director, pharmacist, chaplain, volunteers, music therapy, massage therapy and grief counselors who are trained to meet the unique needs of our patients and their family members.

Services from St. Anthony Hospice are available within a 30-mile radius of Carroll and are designed to meet the patient’s needs in the home, in a nursing home, assisted living, or in a hospital setting. A Hospice nurse is on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week to meet the patient’s needs and assess changes in physical condition.

Medicare, Medicaid, VA and most private insurances pay for hospice care. St. Anthony Hospice uses community donations to provide care for hospice families for ongoing education of volunteers, staff and the communities we serve. No person is denied care due to inability to pay.

Referrals for Hospice services can be made by any interested person – patient, professional staff, clergy, friends or family members. To make a referral, call St. Anthony Regional Hospice, at 712-794-5279.
