Hospice in Massachusetts
Hospice provides comfort care, nursing, aide help, social work, spiritual care and family support for people with a life expectancy of six months or less, most often in their own home or in a nursing home. Every Medicare-certified hospice in Massachusetts is listed here.
Who pays
The Medicare hospice benefit covers hospice care in full, including medications and equipment related to the terminal illness. MassHealth and private insurance also cover it.
How to choose
Ask whether the hospice is non-profit or for-profit, how often a nurse visits, whether they have an inpatient unit, and what the overnight on-call response time is. CMS publishes family survey results for each hospice.
Hospice by town
Town pages list every hospice that serves the town, sorted by distance. 20 MetroWest towns are live now; the rest of the state is being added.
