Pathways Hospice Services

Places of Care

Pathways Hospice patients may reside at home, caregivers’ homes, long-term care facilities, or our inpatient care center. We bring our services to the "home" to assist the family members and friends in providing care for patients. We also want to make certain you have the resources and choices that you need.

To refer a patient, friend, or loved one for hospice care, call us at 970.663.3500.

Home-based Care

Many people choose to receive hospice care in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes. This provides convenience and comfort for family members and friends as well. While in some cases managing acute symptoms can necessitate transfer to our inpatient care center or a medical facility, in most cases our patients are able to remain at home if they so choose. We provide the same quality of care in your home that you would receive in a medical facility.

Assisted Living or Nursing Facilities

For patients with assisted living or nursing facilities as their primary residence, Pathways Hospice can work together with nursing home staff to provide hospice care. As needed or requested, our medical directors, all Board Certified in Hospice & Palliative Care Medicine, can provide care oversight and consultation. Additionally, to complement the in-house offerings of Skilled Nursing Facilities our volunteers offer a host of services including companionship, pet visit, photography, massage therapy and many more.

LIFECENTRE
Pathways Hospice also has a partnership with Columbine Health Systems for nursing home hospice service at two locations, Columbine West in Fort Collins and the North Shore in Loveland. Current residents of these care centers, or new residents who need hospice care, may move in to dedicated hospice wings for focused, continuous care. These wings have rooms with more homelike atmospheres and are equipped for the special needs of hospice clients.

Inpatient Care: Pathways Hospice Care Center

When people require acute care for symptoms that cannot be managed elsewhere, Pathways Hospice provides inpatient care through our Hospice Care Center at McKee Medical Center in Loveland. Inpatient care includes complete medical, emotional and spiritual support provided by a skilled interdisciplinary team. Rooms in the Hospice Care Center reflect a homelike atmosphere and are staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by Pathways Hospice personnel.
