Heartfelt generosity in support of hospice patients and their loved ones means others in your community have access to compassionate end-of-life care. Avera provides hospice care in many settings, long-term care facilities, assisted living centers and homes, including rural and remote areas.
Across dozens of communities in our region, the Avera hospice team provides in-home hospice care. In some Avera hospitals and our hospices houses, patients have tranquil settings for prayer, visitation and comfort. These locations provide home-like design plus medical technology to provide care for patients and support to their families.

Financial Relief for Families
Avera@Home hospice services are covered under Medicare and some Medicaid plans when services are provided in a residential home. Hospice care provided in a nursing home, independent or assisted living environment may include additional costs not covered under the benefit.
Many insurance policies and other managed care policies include hospice coverage for all or a portion of related costs. When patients don’t have insurance, Avera will work with them to identify ways to pay for hospice services.
