I need a medical bed and supplies. Can you help?

How We Help
Whether you are navigating a serious illness or caring for someone who is, you have a lot on your mind. We’re happy to answer any question you have, at any time. You don’t have to sign up for anything to start a conversation.
When is it time?
If you believe a loved one may benefit from hospice or palliative care, call as soon as possible. The earlier we are involved in care, the better the quality of life and care for both patient and family. Hospice and palliative care programs both provide an extra layer of support as you navigate a serious illness.
What program is right for me?
Whether hospice or palliative care is a better fit depends on many factors, including what your most pressing needs are, details regarding medical eligibility, and your family’s comfort level. Our job is to make that process as easy for you as possible by working with you, your loved one, and your healthcare providers to make the right choice.
Does it cost anything?
The cost of hospice care is covered by the Hospice Medicare Benefit, Medicaid, private insurance, and donations to our non-profit organization. Our palliative care program is fully donor supported. We provide care for all, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay.
What are my next steps?
We recommend contacting us to learn more about programs and options. You can do that here, by calling us at 859-986-1500, or via email to hospice@hospicecp.org. Once you’re ready, we can work with your loved one’s providers to review medical records and arrange for a home or facility visit from one of our nurses. The nurse will assess your loved one and answer your questions.
Where is Hospice Care Plus Located?
Wherever you call home, we come to you.
Hospice Care Plus & Compassionate Care Center is located in Richmond, but our Home Hospice and Palliative Care programs are dedicated to allowing our patients to be where they want to be, with the people they care about most.
For most, that means staying home. Wherever you call home - an assisted living community, nursing home, subdivision, or family farm - we come to you.
