Home Health Care services are for homebound people who need skilled nursing or therapy. Services are ordered by a health care provider and care is delivered in the comfort of your home. Nurses, aides and/or volunteers come to your home to treat an illness or chronic condition. Our goal is to get you better so that you can regain your independence and become as self-sufficient as possible.

Hospice is a home care program for terminally ill individuals (prognosis of six months or less) and their families. It is appropriate for those who are no longer pursuing treatment. We recommend starting hospice care earlier in the disease process rather than waiting until the final moments of life, as this maximizes opportunities to improve the patient’s quality of life and ensure their wishes are honored.
Hospice provides clinical management of symptoms and pain, enabling you or your loved ones to live as fully and comfortably as possible while remaining in the familiar surroundings of home. The focus is on caring, not curing.
MyMichigan Hospice's services can be provided at home whether you live in your own home or at a friend or family member's home, a nursing facility, an assisted living center or a foster care home.
As an alternative to care at home, MyMichigan Hospice offers the Woodland Hospice House, located in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. The Woodland Hospice House is a beautiful eight-suite facility that focuses on privacy, comfort, and individualized care to honor your and your family’s wishes.
