Hope Hospice Center
We are proud to serve as the Care Provider at Missoula’s only dedicated in-patient hospice facility, Hope Hospice Center.
​
This purpose-built 15,000-square-foot center is thoughtfully designed to offer 24/7 care for individuals with terminal diagnoses who are no longer seeking curative treatment. Every element has been intentionally crafted, from the soothing lighting and acoustics in each private room to the Reflection Center, which provides end-of-life literature and grief support for families.
​
As the Care Provider, we are dedicated to delivering compassionate, expert care that upholds the dignity, comfort, and unique needs of every patient and their loved ones. Hope Hospice Center will be a sanctuary of peace, support, and connection because no one should face the end of life alone.

Our Services

Interdisciplinary Team
The hospice interdisciplinary care team is a group of healthcare professionals who provide wholistic care to patients with life-limiting illnesses and their families. The team includes access to a physician, nurse, hospice aide, social worker, volunteer, chaplain, and bereavement specialist.

Spiritual Care
Spirituality is a fundamental element to the human experience of health and healing, illness and dying. Spiritual care is an essential component of palliative and end-of-life care and supports patients and their families compassionately through this transition.

Medical Director
The Hospice Medical Director is a physician who provides clinical expertise and leadership to the Interdisciplinary Team to improve patient care and palliation during a patient’s time on hospice service.

Skilled Nursing
Skilled Nurses perform a full spectrum of nursing care, including catheter care, wound care, and medication management. Acting as a liaison with external providers, Skilled Nurses also teach patients and their caregivers how to manage patients’ medical conditions in the home environment.

Bereavement Support
Bereavement is the period after a loss during which you experience grief. Bereavement support is an essential part of the hospice philosophy, providing up to 13 months of support to help families and friends process grief after the death of a loved one.

Certified Nursing Assistant
Certified Nursing Assistants assist patients with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, grooming, oral care, hygiene, and toileting. They help to maintain dignity and comfort while respecting patient preference for care.

Social Work
Social Workers enhance the coping skills of families and caregivers while promoting the social and emotional health of the patient. Social Workers can facilitate understanding goals of care during a difficult time and can assist in services such as a living will or POLST.

Volunteers
Hospice volunteers are an essential part of the hospice team. Volunteers can provide direct companionship and bring unique talents, empathy, and assistance to patients and their families.

Pharmacy
Pharmacists play a critical role in hospice care by addressing complex symptoms, monitoring possible drug interactions, and avoiding overutilization of medications to ensure a quality end-of-life experience.
