What Makes Us Different

About Minnesota Hospice

Our Unique Approach to Hospice Care

Choosing a hospice provider is a deeply personal decision. Families want to know their loved one will receive the best possible care—care that goes beyond just managing symptoms. At Minnesota Hospice, we believe hospice is about living fully, with dignity and comfort, for as long as possible. Our unique approach to end-of-life care ensures that every person and family feels heard, valued, and supported.

Locally Owned, Community Focused

Minnesota Hospice is locally owned and operated, with deep roots in the communities we serve. Our personalized, hands-on approach allows us to provide care that is truly tailored to each person’s needs. Because our team members lives in the communities we serve, they are always nearby, ready to provide timely, compassionate support when families need it most.

What this means for families:

  • Decisions are made locally
  • A dedicated, compassionate team that truly knows and serves the community
  • A focus on quality over quantity, with people-centered care at the forefront

A Holistic, Whole-Person Approach

Hospice care isn’t just about medical treatment—it’s about addressing every aspect of well-being. We recognize that end-of-life care requires a comprehensive approach that supports the body, mind, and spirit.

Our holistic care includes:

  • Expert medical care – Skilled symptom management and comfort-focused treatments
  • Emotional support – Support for people and their families to ease stress and grief
  • Spiritual guidance – Chaplains/spiritual care providers honoring all beliefs, cultures, and traditions
  • Family support services – Helping loved ones navigate hospice with compassion and clarity

 

Every person’s journey is unique, which is why our team tailors care plans to their individual needs and wishes.

We Handle the Practical Details, So You Can Focus on What Matters

Navigating end-of-life care can feel overwhelming. That’s why we assist with handling the logistics, paperwork, and coordination, so families can focus on being present with their loved one.

We take care of:

  1. Verifying insurance coverage – Ensuring families understand what’s covered under Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance
  2. Coordinating medical supplies and equipment – From hospital beds to oxygen, we make sure everything is in place
  3. Assisting with advance care planning – Helping people document their wishes and making sure they are honored

 

With Minnesota Hospice, families never have to navigate this journey alone.

Ongoing Support for Families—Even After a Loss

Our care doesn’t end when a person passes. Families need support too, which is why we offer bereavement services for up to 13 months after a loved one’s passing. We also host a monthly "Coffee and Conversation" gathering for widowers, providing a safe and welcoming space for those experiencing grief to connect and heal.
