VITAS Healthcare

Hospice & Palliative · Wisconsin · Free

One of the largest hospice providers in the US, with locations across 14 states. Useful when curative treatment is becoming harder than the disease — palliative care doesn't mean giving up. Hospice intake usually happens in 24-48 hours from the first call; teams visit at home and don't require a hospital stay. The CAPC palliative care directory lists hospital-based teams; most major medical centers now have one. No cost to older adults or the people helping them.
