If you are navigating a serious illness, we’re here to help, every step of the way.

You are not alone.

Hope and Support

We have over four decades of experience supporting families in our community as you cope with the challenging journey of serious or terminal illness.

Our care teams specialize in expert care with compassion, dignity, respect, and hope.

As a non-profit, independent, award-winning organization, our only goal is to support patients and caregivers and promote quality of life.

Learn how our organization and all our programs—hospice, palliative, and grief support—can bring hope, support, expert care, and compassion to you and your family.

This journey can be filled with many twists and turns, but you aren't alone.  We’re here to guide you and your family through the process one step at a time.

"Plus" care that goes above and beyond

We offer more than just hospice care. We have provided a Palliative Care Program for more than 20 years for those who are not yet medically appropriate for hospice care but need help with resources, care coordination, benefits, and pain and symptom management consults.

We Serve Central and Eastern Kentucky

Estill, Jackson, Lee, Madison, Owsley, and Rockcastle Counties

Hospice Care Plus will come to you, wherever you are, as long as you are a resident of one of these six Kentucky counties. Your home downtown, a farm in a rural community, the hospital, or an extended care facility - we're there for you wherever you are.

Where is Hospice Care Plus Located?

Wherever you call home, we come to you.

Hospice Care Plus & Compassionate Care Center is located in Richmond, but our Home Hospice and Palliative Care programs are dedicated to allowing our patients to be where they want to be, with 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.
