Hospice Care Foundation

Hospice of Missoula is committed to providing the very best in end-of-life care. We are the only Missoula organization focused solely on hospice care, and the superiority of our care demonstrates this distinction. Hospice of Missoula provides compassionate, family-centered care that allows terminally ill patients to remain at home, in control of their lives and surrounded by loved ones. Our team provides not only expert pain and symptom management, but also emotional and spiritual support, which extends to bereavement care for families after a patient has died. Our focus is on quality of life rather than length of life; to that end, hospice neither hastens death nor prolongs life. Our hospice team includes a medical director, nurses, social workers, home health aides, chaplains, a music clinician, bereavement counselors, massage therapists, and trained volunteers. With input from the patient, the family, and the patient's primary physician, hospice creates a plan of care and provides instruction and support to the primary caregivers. Caregivers may include a spouse, family members, paid caregivers, or friends who accept the day-to-day responsibility for the patient's care. Hospice patients may also reside in nursing homes or assisted-living facilities. In addition, Hospice of Missoula provides medications, supplies, and medical equipment.
