Center for Hospice Care
Information provided from the About Us page of Center for Hospice Care website: Our Mission: To Improve the Quality of Living Center for Hospice Care is a community based, not-for-profit organization, improving the quality of living through hospice, home health, grief counseling, and community education. Our mission is “to improve the quality of living” for those in our community. Our organization helps patients and their loved ones experience the best possible quality of living even as they face end of life. We believe Center for Hospice Care improves the quality of living by offering compassionate hospice and palliative care, as well as providing extensive bereavement services for those in our community. Since 1980, Center for Hospice Care has kept our promise that no one eligible for hospice services will be turned away, regardless of their ability to pay. Our Vision: To be the premiere hospice and palliative care organization for all end-of-life issues. Our Services Center for Hospice Care is a comprehensive, not-for-profit hospice provider. We offer a number of services to assist those in our community who are experiencing the effects of a life-limiting illness. Whether directly affected by the illness or affected by grief, Center for Hospice Care is here to help. We are also one of the few hospice providers in the area that operates two inpatient care facilities. We have a seven-bed facility in Elkhart called “Esther’s House“, and another seven-bed facility in South Bend. In early 2020 our new, state-of-the-art 12-bed inpatient care facility, the “Ernestine M. Raclin House” will open on our Mishawaka Campus, along the St. Joseph River.
