How We Help
Whether you are navigating a serious or advanced illness or caring for someone who is, you have a lot on your mind.
We're happy to answer questions about our services, eligibility, referrals, and available resources. Whether you're seeking care for yourself, a loved one, or simply looking for information, our team is here to help. You don't have to sign up for anything to start a conversation.
When should I contact Compassionate Care Plus?
Many families tell us they wish they had reached out sooner. If you or a loved one is facing a serious or advanced illness, experiencing changes in health, or simply needs additional support, now is a good time to start the conversation.
The earlier we become involved, the more opportunities we have to provide education, resources, and support for both patients and families.
What services are right for me?
Every situation is unique. The services that may be appropriate depend on a variety of factors, including a person's diagnosis, goals of care, support system, and current needs.
Our team will take time to understand your situation, answer your questions, and help determine what services and resources may be the best fit.
How do I get started? We recommend contacting us to learn more about programs and options. You can do that here, by calling us at 859-986-1500, or via email to info@ccpky.org. Once you’re ready, we can work with your loved one’s providers to review medical records and arrange for a home or facility visit from one of our nurses. The nurse will assess your loved one and answer your questions.
Home Hospice Care
When you or someone you love is living with a serious or advanced illness, being at home, where life feels most familiar and comfortable, can matter more than ever.
At Compassionate Care Plus, our home hospice program is here to support you and your family. With specialized care and an early referral, individuals may experience more time at home with improved quality of life and expert symptom management.
Our team works alongside patients, families, and healthcare providers to provide comfort-focused care, guidance, and support throughout the journey.
Even when a serious illness cannot be cured, how you feel and what you do each day still matters.

In-patient Care at the Compassionate Care Center
Our Compassionate Care Center is the region's only hospice inpatient facility, offering short-term inpatient and respite care in a peaceful, home-like environment.
For some patients, there are times when symptoms become difficult to manage at home or family caregivers need additional support. During these times, the Compassionate Care Center provides specialized hospice care focused on comfort, symptom management, and quality of life.
The Center is available to patients receiving hospice services at home, as well as eligible patients referred from hospitals and other healthcare facilities throughout the region.
The Compassionate Care Center features private patient rooms, welcoming family spaces, and a warm atmosphere designed to help patients and loved ones feel supported.
The Compassionate Care Center features a home-like, warm atmosphere and is easy to access for visitors.
Care Includes:
- General inpatient care, when a brief inpatient stay is necessary to manage pain or symptoms that cannot be managed at home
- Respite care, a stay of up to five days, when a crisis necessitates a break for the caregiver
Many patients return home after their stay at the Center and continue with home hospice care.
Where is Compassionate Care Plus Located?
Wherever you call home, we come to you.
We are located at the Compassionate Care Center in Richmond, but our home hospice program is dedicated to allowing patients to remain where they are most comfortable, surrounded by the people they care about most.
For most, that means staying home. Wherever you call home - an assisted living community, nursing home, subdivision, or family farm - we come to you.
