Hospice care in Rockville, Utah
Rockville is a few hundred people at the mouth of Zion and many of the families here have held the same ground for generations. When someone says they want to die at home, they mean that house, under that cliff.

Serving Rockville families at home
Our job is to make that possible rather than treating the distance as a reason it can’t happen. Small town, narrow lanes, older houses — none of that stops hospice. It just means planning: equipment sized for the room it is actually going in and a nurse who has driven the route in daylight before being asked to drive it at night.
Rockville families also tend to be private and we respect that. Hospice does not mean a parade of strangers through your living room. It means a small, consistent team, the same faces and no more people in the house than you want there.
We come to wherever home is in Rockville: 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: Springdale, Grafton and the homes along the Virgin River. Not sure whether your address is inside our service area? Call and ask — the answer is usually yes.

What it costs in Rockville
For most families, nothing out of pocket. Hospice is covered under Medicare Part A and Utah Medicaid and most private insurance plans cover it on similar terms. We verify your coverage and give you the numbers in writing before anything is signed. See exactly what is and isn’t covered →
Not sure it’s time yet?
That is the most common place families in Rockville 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? →
