VNA Hospice House

The VNA Hospice House was built so patients who cannot receive care at home have a place to receive the care they need and deserve and so patients do not feel they are in a medical facility, but rather receiving compassionate, end-of-life care in a home-like setting. Patients whose symptoms cannot be managed at home or do not have caregivers to deliver their care are candidates for the hospice house. The hospice house can also be a solution for family members needing a respite from their caregiving duties. Hospice patients are welcome to stay in the hospice house for up to 5 days, giving a much-needed rest for the caregiver.

The 12,000 square-foot building is a unique blend of function and beauty. It has 12 private bedrooms, each with its own bath, screened patio and sleeping accommodations for overnight visitors. Each room overlooks the 4.2 acre secluded garden surrounding the house.

A Place for Remembering

What better way to honor the memory of a loved one than with a message of love. Celebrate a life lived with an engraved granite tribute plaque displayed in the VNA Hospice House memorial area, appropriately named, A Place For Remembering. Tribute plaques are available to anyone who wishes to remember a loved one – not just those who have been served by VNA Hospice.

The focal point of A Place For Remembering is a fountain uniquely constructed from historical parts used by sugar plantations during the 19th century. Creatively displayed, the eclectic water feature provides a calming atmosphere among the sleek, black plaques displaying messages of commemoration for loved ones. This space was designed with seating incorporated into the structure so loved ones can reflect in a tranquil and serene environment.
