When a loved one enters hospice care, many families in the Salt Lake Valley worry they’ll have to move them into a large facility or keep them at home with limited support. The good news is that a small assisted living home like Holladay Home can often be an excellent and comforting option.
Here’s what families should know about choosing assisted living with hospice in Holladay.
How Hospice and Assisted Living Work Together
Hospice provides specialized medical care focused on comfort, pain management, and quality of life. Assisted living provides custodial care — help with daily living activities like bathing, dressing, meals, and companionship.
In a small Type I home like ours:
- Hospice handles all skilled medical needs (medications, equipment, nursing visits, feeding tubes/kangaroo bags, etc.).
- Our staff provides the 24-hour personal care and emotional support.
- The two teams work together so your loved one stays comfortable and dignified.
Why Many Families Choose a Small Home for Hospice Care
- More personal attention — With only 15 residents, our caregivers can respond quickly and give your loved one the gentle, one-on-one care they deserve.
- Feels like home, not a hospital — Our cozy environment is peaceful and familiar, which is especially important during end-of-life care.
- Family is welcome anytime — You can visit freely without strict visiting hours.
- We are experienced — We regularly support hospice residents and know how to make the experience as comfortable as possible for everyone.
