Compassionate Care for Serious & Advanced Illness in Lee County, Kentucky

Compassionate Care Plus provides compassionate, patient-centered care for individuals facing serious and advanced illness, while also supporting the family members and caregivers who walk alongside them. Services include home hospice care, inpatient hospice care, grief and loss support, emotional support, and caregiver resources.

How do I get services in my county?

Compassionate Care Plus will come to you, wherever you are. As long as you are a resident of one of the six Kentucky counties we serve. Your home downtown, a farm in a rural community, the hospital, or an extended care facility; we’ll be with you during this journey.

How do I know if it is time for Compassionate Care Plus services?

Services may be appropriate when someone is facing a serious or advanced illness and curative treatments are no longer effective, desired, or aligned with their goals.

Common signs include frequent hospitalizations, increased pain or symptoms, declining health, weight loss, or a need for additional support at home. If you're unsure whether hospice is the right choice, our team is happy to answer questions and help you explore your options.

Where do I start?

Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate it alone. Whether you're seeking care for yourself, a loved one, or simply looking for information, our team is here to help.

We can answer questions, explain available services, and guide you through the process of determining what support may be right for your situation.

When you're ready, contact us at 859-986-1500, info@ccpky.org, or use this contact form.

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.

Isn’t it expensive?

NO. The cost of care is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance. We also provide a free Grief & Loss Support program for anyone in the community who may need this service.

We provide care for all, even those who may be underinsured.

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.
