When you choose hospice care with Richmed Hospice Services, you’re choosing peace — for both the patient and the family.
Our approach focuses on easing pain, supporting emotional and spiritual needs, and ensuring that every moment is lived with comfort, respect, and meaning.

Beginning the Hospice Journey

When a physician determines that a life-limiting illness is present and curative treatment is no longer the goal, hospice care becomes an option — not to give up, but to focus on quality of life.

At Richmed, the hospice journey typically begins with:

  1. A compassionate referral review — our clinical team carefully evaluates eligibility and coordinates with the patient’s physician.
  2. An initial visit and care plan — our nurse meets the patient and family, reviews medical needs, and creates a personalized plan of care.
  3. Admission and coordination — services begin quickly, often within hours of approval, with our team available 24/7 for support.

Your Care Team

Each patient under our care is supported by an interdisciplinary team that works together to address every aspect of comfort and wellbeing.

  • Hospice Physician / Medical Director: Oversees the plan of care and manages medical treatment.
  • Registered Nurses: Provide direct clinical care, symptom management, and patient education.
  • Certified Nursing Assistants: Assist with personal care and daily comfort needs.
  • Social Workers: Offer counseling, care coordination, and community resource support.
  • Chaplains and Spiritual Counselors: Support faith, hope, and inner peace — regardless of belief system.
  • Volunteers: Offer companionship, light errands, and family relief through compassionate presence.

Each team member plays a vital role in supporting not only the patient but the entire family.

  • Private residences
  • Assisted living or skilled nursing facilities
  • Hospitals or inpatient units (as needed for symptom management)
