Hospice care in Toquerville, Utah

Serving Toquerville families at home

We care for people at home throughout Toquerville, from the old town streets to the newer homes up on the bench. The houses are spread out here and the lots are large, so we plan routes and deliveries accordingly instead of finding out the hard way on the first difficult night.

Small towns also mean neighbors who genuinely show up. We work with that rather than around it: our nurse will teach a neighbor or a church friend the same things we teach a daughter, if that is who is actually in the house at three in the afternoon. We serve La Verkin, Hurricane and Ash Creek nearby.

We come to wherever home is in Toquerville: 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.

Large lots, long driveways

Toquerville is spread thin by design. People chose acreage under the black rock ledges precisely so their nearest neighbour would not be close, and the practical result is long driveways, scattered addresses and the occasional house that a delivery driver simply cannot find in the dark.

So we sort the logistics out in daylight, early. Where the truck can actually turn around, which gate is the one that opens, whether the last stretch is gravel, and where the oxygen concentrator can sit near an outlet without running a cord across a walkway. None of that is complicated. It is only a problem when it is discovered at ten at night by someone who has never been to the property before.

The upside of a town like this is that the people who do live nearby tend to genuinely show up — often a neighbour or someone from church rather than a relative. We teach whoever is actually in the house. If that is the man next door who has been checking in every afternoon for a month, he gets the same instruction a daughter would, provided the family wants him to have it.

What it costs in Toquerville

Not sure it’s time yet?

Nearly everyone starts here. It is a better question asked six weeks early than a week late, and there is no cost to asking it. Our guide covers the signs, the first 48 hours, and the difference between hospice and palliative care in plain English. Read: How do I know when it’s time? →
