Our Services

Pennyroyal Hospice is more than just in-home care for the patient.

It can be R.E.L.I.E.F. for everyone. Here's how.

What We Offer

Pennyroyal Hospice provides a very special kind of care for persons with life-limiting illness; working also with their loved ones to provide support and a wide range of health and support services

Nursing Care

An assigned registered nurse makes regular visits and evaluates the patient’s condition. The nurse teaches the patient’s family and friends to be caregivers and to manage pain and other symptoms. There is a nurse on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week to respond to any emergency. An assigned hospice nurse visits the patient as needed depending upon the patient’s condition.

Professional Home Care Aides

Certified home care aides provide personal care such as bathing, shaving, nail care, shampooing and dressing. A nurse aide is available to visit a patient up to five days per week, depending upon the patient’s condition and the family’s wishes.

Licensed Social Workers

Licensed social workers help with psychological and emotional problems, arrange for delivery of community services, and provide counseling for patients and their families.

Chaplain

Our chaplain consults with and assists the patient and their families with their spiritual concerns, complimenting the patient’s own minister when appropriate.

Trained Volunteers

Trained hospice volunteers are available to assist patients and their families with various activities, or to stay with the patient so that caregivers can go shopping, enjoy social engagements or have some free time to run errands, or simply attend events with family and friends.

Bereavement Counselors

Our social workers help the family through the grief process for at least one year following a patient’s death. They provide educational home visits, periodic written materials and follow-up phone calls. Grief workshops are also available.

Non-Medical Support Services

We developed a new initiative called "Transitions" to aid and provide support to caregivers, patients, and families who require assistance but are not yet prepared for formal hospice services.


Bi-weekly check-in calls and volunteers providing companionship are just a couple of the ways Transitions is helping those who feel alone or simply in need. Learn more about Transitions or download our brochure.
