Hospice Programs in Maine

There are many hospice programs in Maine providing services such as pain and symptom management, respite care, psychosocial support, spiritual support, transportation, education and bereavement support.  These are community-based volunteer programs and Medicare-certified programs providing services through a structured network of trained volunteers, clergy, nurses, therapists and counselors working in cooperation with the individual's primary physician.

Regardless of how a hospice program is structured or organized, whether it is a division of a home health agency, hospital-based, or community-based, all programs emphasize the use of trained volunteers as well as professionals in meeting individual and family needs.

To learn more about hospice, or for assistance finding hospice services, call the Maine Hospice Council. We are located in Augusta, Maine, with a toll-free number: 1-800-438-5963. Our staff will be happy to talk to you and answer any questions you may have.
