At Shirkey Hospice & Palliative Care, we believe that compassionate, end-of-life care shouldn’t be confined to a single setting. That’s why we go wherever our patients need us—whether it’s in the comfort of their own home, a nursing or assisted living facility, or even a hospital setting. Hospice isn’t a place. It’s a philosophy of care—and it travels.
Home is Where the Heart Is
Many families choose to receive hospice care at home. Being surrounded by familiar faces and cherished memories brings a sense of peace that no medical setting can match. Our team provides skilled nursing, spiritual care, emotional support, volunteer companionship, and essential medical supplies—right in your living room.
We coordinate visits around your schedule, ensuring that care is personalized and non-intrusive. From medication management to emotional and spiritual counseling, we support the patient and their loved ones every step of the way.
Facilities Are Our Second Home
We work hand-in-hand with nursing homes, assisted living communities, and skilled nursing facilities across the region. For residents who already call these places home, our hospice team adds another layer of compassionate care—focused on dignity, comfort, and connection.
Our What If program helps residents fulfill meaningful wishes, and our chaplain and volunteers often become trusted companions. We’re not just visitors—we become part of the care family.
Beyond the Bedside
We’re not limited by walls. If your loved one is transitioning between care settings or in a hospital bed recovering from a medical event, we can coordinate services during that transition. The goal is always the same: comfort, peace, and dignity.
Hospice isn’t one-size-fits-all—and we’re proud to be flexible in meeting families where they are.
The Shirkey Difference
What makes us unique? Our deep commitment to hometown care and our What If program, which brings joy and meaning to each patient’s journey. From a Jeep ride with the top down to painting one last masterpiece, we believe that every moment matters.
Wherever you need us—we’ll be there.
