We provide comfort and dignity with a holistic perspective, treating the entire patient and supporting their family when illness no longer responds to cure-oriented therapies. Lexington Hospice partners with you, your family, and your physicians to provide high-quality and compassionate end-of-life care. Lexington Hospice focuses on dignity, symptom control, and emotional and spiritual support for patients in our care. Palliative Care can assist with management of symptoms, without entering a Hospice Program. We also support palliative care/symptom management while patients are undergoing chemo therapy.

- Continuing care coordinators will assist in your transition home and will set up necessary medical equipment and supplies.
