Who We Are
Sentara Hospice House, a 12-bed inpatient hospice facility, was created to meet the growing needs of the community for respite and end-of-life care. From nursing services and social work to volunteer and bereavement services, we offer the same full range of inpatient hospice services as currently offered in the hospital.
The Sentara Hospice House provides a team of nurses, doctors, medical social workers, volunteers, aides, chaplains and bereavement counselors. Our trained professionals provide comfort and 24-hour care, pain and symptom management, and overall physical and emotional support in a home-like setting for patients and caregivers.
Sentara Hospice House is open to patients with life-limiting conditions who qualify for inpatient hospice services. Extensive medical and nursing care is provided for treatment of uncontrollable symptoms. Once the symptoms have stabilized, the patient will be transitioned to the home or previous setting – where they feel the most comfortable. Respite services are also available for current hospice patients.
