Who Qualifies for Hospice?

Deciding whether or not you qualify for hospice can be difficult on your own. Our staff of professionals is trained to know if you are eligible and would be glad to assess your situation. Ask yourself these questions:

Has my disease stopped responding to treatment?
Has the doctor suggested that I have a matter of months or days to live?
Has the doctor recommended hospice to me?
Do I have a condition that cannot be treated?
Am I confused about my options?

Who Pays for Hospice?

Medicare, Medicaid and most insurance providers pay 100% of the services we provide. If they do not, we will work with you on a payment option so that you don’t have an additional worry.

What is Hospice Care?

Hospice care is individualized care, which is tailored specifically for each individual patient, and is typically provided in the patient’s home. In order to meet the needs of the patient, as well as the family, we take into account each individual’s goals, values, and beliefs, as well as their specific illness. A person with a terminal illness can obtain hospice care whether they have months or days to live.

Why is Hospice Care Important?

Hospice care is important to both patient and family. At a time when the focus should be on more important things, hospice care can alleviate many of the responsibilities of being a caregiver in order to provide the freedom to spend time with loved ones. Many patients opt to write memoirs, or do the one thing that they always wanted to do but never got around to. Whatever the task, hospice provides the necessary care enabling the patient and family to focus on each other.

Often when dealing with disease progression, symptoms become less tolerable and more difficult to control. Because hospice care focuses on symptom management (palliative care) and support, the greatest benefit to both patient and family comes with early application.

Hospice care is typically carried out at home where patients can enjoy time with their loved ones in a comfortable and familiar surrounding. While some patients choose to receive hospice care in a nursing home or hospital, most prefer the comforts of home. We can provide care in either setting.

Harmony Community Healthcare provides services to the Greater Tucson area, including Pima County, Pinal County, and Santa Cruz County. Each patient receives care from an interdisciplinary group of professionals who work together with the patient’s current medical providers. Our team of healthcare professionals collaborate to provide seamless and compassionate care for our clients and their family.

Our healthcare team is comprised of:

Registered Nurse (RN)

Medical Director

Having worked with various hospices over the years on a professional level, it is often hard to find a company that is consistent, available, compassionate and responsive. But Harmony has proven time and time again that they are all those things and more. I can honestly say that they are the most responsive hospice I have ever worked with and their team of caring professionals makes the process simple and stress-free for patients embarking on the hospice journey. We are so grateful to have Harmony as a resource for our clients and will continue to work with them for years to come. On a personal level, Harmony provided services to my grandmother when she required hospice services at her assisted living facility. Their team was compassionate, caring and responsive and we are so thankful that they were involved with her through the end. Thank you Harmony for all you do! We look forward to working with you for years to come.

To the entire staff- thank you for the excellent service you provided to my dearest Fred Garcia Jr. On 8/20/2024 at 3:12 a.m. He lay peacefully on the bed when I kissed him for the last time and he took his last breath. I feel great sadness but I also have comfort in my heart that I was able to honor his wish to be at home. I loved him with all my heart, but God loves him more.

We own and operate a care home in Tucson and have been working with Harmony Hospice for years. I highly recommend them. From nurse Krystele to social worker Wanda and all the aides and staff, everyone has been so exceptionally great at what they do. Their communication skills and promptness to get things done is such a big help, they truly are an extension to our staff. They treat everyone with professionalism, knowledge, care and have positive attitudes. We love working with them!!
