VITAS Healthcare

Hospice & Palliative · Connecticut · Free

One of the largest hospice providers in the US, with locations across 14 states. Relevant for any seriously ill senior whose symptoms (pain, breathlessness, anxiety) aren't being well-managed. Hospice intake usually happens in 24-48 hours from the first call; teams visit at home and don't require a hospital stay. Bereavement support is a Medicare hospice benefit for 13 months after the patient's death — most families don't realize this. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
