Regency Hospice

We are committed to being a world class organization that provides the highest quality care to our patients. Our philosophy and culture are built around having highly experienced hospice professionals, who are experts in pain management and in providing support and counseling for patients and families.

We recognize that a person is more than a physical body and we provide skilled professionals and volunteers to assist with not only the physical needs, but emotional and spiritual needs as well. We also recognize the family unit, and support is offered to family caregivers that includes counseling and education.

A registered nurse is always on call, 24 hours, to answer questions and to provide assistance and support when needed. We will provide care to every eligible patient in our service area, regardless of medical conditions, lifestyle, religious, cultural or ethnic background. We believe all patients who are eligible for hospice should receive hospice. After all this is the time When Life Matters Most....
