Hospice Care

Visiting Nurse Association of Cape Cod Hospice

Hospice care can enhance the quality of life of those facing terminal illness. VNA Hospice is a continuation of the excellent care patients have come to expect from the Cape’s largest healthcare system. Choosing VNA Hospice means you can keep your own trusted physician, while adding a team of nurses, pharmacists, physical therapists, home health aides and volunteers to your community of caregivers.

VNA Hospice is the highest-rated hospice on Cape Cod and offers more services, both clinical and complementary, than any other hospice in the region. 

When increased symptoms cannot be managed safely at home, hospice patients may require short-term care in an inpatient setting. This allows our team to manage symptoms until the patient is stable. We provide this care at hospitals and skilled nursing facilities, including nursing homes and long-term acute care centers.

We also provide inpatient care at the VNA Hospice McCarthy Care Center in Sandwich. This facility has all private rooms, allowing for a more restful stay with fewer intrusions. Our clinicians provide around-the-clock, individualized care and emotional support to help patients feel safe, comfortable, respected and valued. A home-like atmosphere welcomes friends and family members, including children and pets, 24 hours a day.

VNA Hospice ensures a seamless transition to the next level of compassionate care, with the reassuring relationships and support of our team of professionals.
