About
Hospice is an incredibly personal experience. Its about love and support, as well as making someone comfortable. At Ecumen Hospice, we believe that each person continues to have great significance, and deserves respect and honor in their final season of life. We provide care that empowers people to live each day as vibrantly and as fully as possible.
We also walk alongside and support families through this journey, and during the 13-month bereavement period after their loved one dies.
Mission Statement
Service Area:Our hospice services are provided wherever one calls home, which could include a private home or care community, such as assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing facilities.
**Wehave patients all over theTwin Cities Metroa area, as well as some Greater Minnesota (North Metro, Southern MN,and Western MN)**
How you can join our passionate team:
- Companion: provide a personal interaction, comforting presence, and small moments of joy. Companions can also offer caregiver respite and/or practical help around the home.
- Hospice Hounds: a registered therapy animal and their human teammate provide a calming, friendly presence, and are known to reduce stress and anxiety. Hospice Hounds volunteers must have a pet already registered for volunteer work; we can provide referrals to get you started on this process.
