tri-cities chaplaincy
Hospice House
Serving Benton & Franklin Counties
Hospice patients receive the best care from the comfort of their own home.
For patients who experience uncontrolled pain or symptoms, our Hospice House is available to provide short-term, 24-hour care from our full medical team so a hospital visit is unnecessary.
We also continue to deliver our full interdisciplinary team throughout the patient stay so the patient and family can benefit from the stellar physical, emotional, and spiritual care that Chaplaincy is known for.
Located in Kennewick, WA, our Hospice House was built through generous community support in 1996 and is the only Hospice House in Benton and Franklin Counties. The Hospice House has 10 private rooms, where patients and their families can receive care in a comfortable, home-like setting when home is not an option.
Appropriate Use of the Hospice House
Temporary
Respite Care
We offer Hospice Respite services in our Hospice House for up to five days for hospice patients living at home. This service is typically provided to help the patient’s caregivers get a needed break.
Supportive
Routine Care
The Hospice House may be used for short-term transitions between care settings or routine hospice care when symptoms are stable. Patients receive regular check-ins, symptom support as needed, and help with daily care in a comfortable setting.
Pain and Symptom Management
The Hospice House provides a higher level of medical care to hospice patients during periods of uncontrolled pain and/or symptom management. A discharge plan is developed to return patients to their homes.
In every situation, our Hospice House serves as a bridge between home and hospital—providing expert care, emotional support, and a peaceful environment for patients and families. For patients that would like to stay in our Hospice House outside of the above reasons, we offer this opportunity when beds are available. A room and board fee is included.
