Care for Patients Under 65

At Comfort Hospice, we understand that serious illness can affect individuals at any stage of life. Hospice care is available to patients under the age of 65 who meet eligibility criteria, providing the same compassionate, comprehensive support regardless of age.

Our goal is to ensure that every patient receives comfort, dignity, and personalized care during life-limiting conditions.

Who Qualifies for Hospice Under 65?

Patients under 65 may qualify for hospice services if they:

• Have a life-limiting illness with a prognosis of six months or less if the disease follows its natural course

• Are eligible for Medicare (due to disability), Medicaid, or private insurance

• Choose comfort-focused care rather than curative treatment

Our team works closely with physicians and families to determine eligibility and guide you through the process.

Hospice Care Is Not Limited by Age

We recognize that patients under 65 often have unique needs, responsibilities, and concerns. Our interdisciplinary team provides care tailored to support both the patient and their loved ones.

We focus on:

• Pain and symptom management

• Assistance with care coordination and planning

• Spiritual and social support based on individual preferences

Care Wherever You Call Home

Hospice services can be provided in:
