Medicare
While Medicare mandates the minimum services that hospice patients must receive, at Missouri Palliative & Hospice Care, we are committed to exceeding industry standards. We recognize that each patient’s life experiences and spiritual beliefs have created a unique individual who deserves the finest care and emotional support, while honoring and respecting their needs and wishes.
We accept Medicare payments at the same rate as non-profit hospices do and we lower Medicare’s expenses by caring for patients in their home.

Hospice Benefit
Of all the benefits available to our patients we believe the hospice benefit is the most misunderstood of them all. The benefits are incredible, the cost is negligible and yet the participation rate is low. We believe this is because of a fundamental misunderstanding of the program.
Hospice Care
At Missouri Palliative & Hospice Care our mission is to serve others. Patients near the end of their life, family members trying their best to support their loved ones, caregivers and professionals striving to provide the best care possible need assistance and we want to provide that assistance!
Palliative Care
The PEACE program is a free community service dedicated to supporting individuals who may require hospice care in the future. It provides ongoing follow-up for those who are either ineligible for hospice or not yet ready, focusing on their overall well-being and connecting them with essential services.
Medical Professionals
There are major differences in hospice relationships – let us help build one that benefits you and your patients. Our team has the programs and the procedures to make our relationship one that will be valued by you and your staff.
Testimonials
I cannot say enough amazing things about the nursing staff. From day one they we’re helpful, they even taught us how to change out the depends. We never experienced anything like this before and they eased our minds. No one wants to go through this but from the Nursing staff, Home Health Aids, and the Social worker we knew we were not alone in this process. Thank you!
Unlike many hospices owned by large national for-profit corporations, we are locally owned and operated, making decisions right here in our community. Our team lives and works in the areas we serve, and it shows in our reviews. Families consistently praise our compassionate care, personalized support, and deep commitment to the communities we call home.
