Hospice care in Apple Valley, Utah
Apple Valley is spread thin across the high desert east of Hurricane — long driveways, big lots, neighbors you can see but not shout to. Care out here has to come to the door.

Serving Apple Valley families at home
Households in Apple Valley are often multi-generational, with several adults under one roof. Clinically that helps: there are hands available. What those hands usually lack is anyone who has done this before and the fear of doing something wrong is its own kind of exhaustion.
So we teach. A nurse will show you exactly what to give, when and what to watch for, in plain language, written down and left on the counter. And when you are unsure at 3am, you call us and a nurse from our own team picks up — not an answering service that takes a message.
We come to wherever home is in Apple Valley: a private house, a family member’s spare room, an assisted living apartment, memory care, or a skilled nursing facility. The goal is always to avoid one more move.
Also serving nearby: Hildale, Colorado City and the homes along Highway 59 toward Big Plain. Not sure whether your address is inside our service area? Call and ask — the answer is usually yes.

What it costs in Apple Valley

Not sure it’s time yet?
That is the most common place families in Apple Valley start and it is the right question to ask early rather than late. We wrote a plain-English guide to the signs, the first 48 hours and how hospice differs from palliative care. Read: how do I know when it’s time? →
