About Crossroads Hospice

Crossroads Hospice & Palliative Care is a national leader of innovative care that is 100% dedicated to helping patients and families access more of what they need to manage serious illnesses or end-of-life care.

Since opening our doors in 1995, we have had one philosophy—expect more. Since then we’ve been busy reinventing hospice and palliative care by finding ways to spend more time with patients and families; and developing ideas to help them experience a better quality of life.

No matter how you look at it, Crossroads will be there when you need us most. Our patient-to-staff ratio is among the best in hospice. We provide more daily visits to our patients than anyone in hospice care and will be by your side during the most critical times.

We also offer education and guidance to help you make informed decisions about your care. We can assist with advanced care planning, emotional and spiritual support, coordination of care and access to community services.
