Aspirus Hospice House

Have questions? Review our FAQ for additional questions and answers.

• Who is eligible for this care?

  Patients must qualify for Aspirus Comfort Care and Hospice Services and choose to live in Hospice House. Our staff works together with the patient, and the patient's family and physician to determine if Hospice House is an appropriate alternative to the patient's home.

• Who pays for this care?

  The services that are routinely paid for by Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance for hospice home care also apply toward Hospice House care. This usually includes charges for nurses, social workers and chaplains, and the cost of equipment and appropriate prescription medications.

  The patient generally pays for the room and board expenses. Some private insurance plans may contribute to the daily room and board charge. The Aspirus Comfort Care and Hospice Services staff members work closely with the patient and their family to clarify insurance coverage and to discuss any financial concerns. Through community funding, there are two rooms available at Hospice House for patients with identified financial need. For more information about qualifications, please call 715-847-2424.
