Who is eligible for Hospice?

As a general guideline, patients are eligible for hospice services once the patient’s physician and the hospice medical director have determined that the life expectancy of the patient is six months or less, should the disease run its expected course. Hospice care is available to anyone, regardless of age, ethnicity, race, religion, gender, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, or illness. Hospice of the Valleys affirms that each person is an individual of infinite worth and respects the dignity of all.
