Skilled, Compassionate Care in a Peaceful, Comfortable Setting

Center for Hospice Care’s two inpatient units were designed help patients and their loved ones feel at home – even when they’re not. Esther’s House and the Ernestine M. Raclin House offer private, spacious rooms with amenities like extensive family seating areas and 24-hour-a-day visitation (pets included). Each inpatient unit also has large family gathering areas, a kitchen, a spiritual reflection room, workspaces and children’s play areas. Both houses provide access to outdoor garden and walking areas for patients and their loved ones to enjoy.

Center for Hospice Care’s therapy dog, Teddy, regularly visits both inpatient units. His gentle, loving presence brings a sense of comfort and peacefulness to patients.

Inpatient care is available for patients when short-term medical care is needed for pain or symptom management. Inpatient care is also available when a caregiver needs a brief respite.

Short-term private-pay stays can also be arranged. Please contact Center for Hospice Care’s admissions team to learn more about this service.
