What Home Hospice Offers Families
Choosing hospice at home gives patients more control over their final chapter while easing the weight on families.
- Familiar surroundings. Patients remain in the environment where they feel most at ease, with their belongings and the people they love nearby.
- Shared responsibility. The hospice team handles the medical and clinical work, so caregivers can step back from the role of nurse and simply be present.
- Personalized attention. Care is built around each patient's individual wishes and the family's specific needs, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
- Dignity and comfort. Our focus is always on quality of life, not curative treatment, so every decision centers on the patient's comfort and peace.
When Home Care May Not Be the Right Fit
Home hospice care is the right choice for many families, but not every person. When symptoms become difficult to manage in a home setting, when medications require close and frequent monitoring, or when a caregiver needs temporary relief, a higher level of care may be needed.
For those situations, Hospice of Lenawee operates the Jim Feeney Hospice Home in Adrian, our inpatient care program and the only inpatient hospice facility in Lenawee County. Patients can move between home care and inpatient care as their needs change, and our team coordinates every transition.

Learn About Costs & CoverageFrequently Asked Questions
Hospice at home is end-of-life care delivered in the patient's own living environment rather than in a hospital or facility. A care team comes to the patient on a regular schedule, provides all needed medical support, and remains available by phone around the clock. The goal is comfort, not cure, and the patient gets to remain in familiar surroundings with the people who matter most.
No. Between scheduled visits, families have on-call access to our team 7 days a week. If something changes or a concern arises at any hour, a nurse is available by phone and can visit when needed.
Yes. Patients can transition between care settings as their needs change. If symptoms require a level of medical attention that can't be safely managed at home, our team will coordinate a transfer to the Jim Feeney Hospice Home.
