Stillwater Hospice Great Falls

Stillwater Hospice Great Falls Stillwater Hospice honors and respects the sacred process that is end-of-life care. Learn more about the Stillwater Hospice difference.

Locally owned, we are redefining hospice care by providing a combination of professional medical care and an outstanding support network designed to meet the needs of our patients and their families. We take the time to educate you on what hospice is, how it benefits those we work with, and how we help make every moment count. At its most basic, hospice care encompasses the services needed to maintain the comfort and dignity of a person whose life is limited. At Stillwater Hospice, however, we believe hospice care is far more than that. It is the opportunity to compassionately honor life, instill hope, and allow our patients to make the most of the days, weeks and months they may have left to live. Stillwater Hospice services can be provided to terminally ill people wherever they live. This means a patient living in a nursing facility or long-term care facility can receive specialized visits from our nurses, home health aides, chaplains, social workers, and volunteers, in addition to other care and services provided by the nursing facility. Stillwater Hospice professionals and the nursing home have a written agreement in place for the hospice to serve residents of the facility. Hospice care serves those who have any terminal, or life-ending, condition. Therefore, it is appropriate to consider hospice once “curative” treatments—those designed to restore good health—will no longer be used. Once entering hospice, each patient receives an individualized treatment plan reflecting their personal goals, medical needs, and the level of support required. In our experience, hospice care can positively impact a patient’s spouse, partner, and family as much as it does the patient. We can help reduce stress and worry by providing knowledge, structure, and support.

Understanding Palliative Care: 6 Essential Tips

Know the Goal: Palliative care aims to improve quality of life by relieving symptoms and stress of serious illness for patients and families.

It's Not Just for End-of-Life: Palliative care can be provided alongside curative treatment and isn't limited to end-of-life scenarios.

Communication is Key: Open discussions with healthcare providers about symptoms, fears, and your lifestyle goals are essential for personalized care.

Team-Based Approach: Palliative care involves a team of specialists including doctors, nurses, and other professionals to provide an extra layer of support.

Access at Any Stage: You can seek palliative care at any stage of illness, not just the advanced stages. Early integration can lead to better outcomes.

🕯️Last night in Great Falls, we gathered for the first annual Stillwater Hospice Luminaria; we honored every patient who passed between January 1, 2024, and July 31, 2025.

It was an incredible honor to care for each of them—and an even greater reward to gain lifelong friendships along the way. We are truly blessed to know every single name that was read. As Thomas Campbell said, “To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.”

At the heart of hospice care are compassionate community volunteers. In hospice’s early days, it was neighbors and friends—ordinary people on a mission to ease suffering—who showed up for the terminally ill.

Today, skilled healthcare professionals deliver clinical care, but volunteers remain essential to what makes hospice personal and humane.

Watch our October Volunteer Insight video and see the impact they make—and if you feel called to serve, apply to be a Stillwater Hospice volunteer on our website. Link in bio.

“The TEAM at Stillwater Hospice Care are nothing short of amazing. My mother was diagnosed with dementia and came to live with my husband and I after her disease advanced to a point where she could no longer live on her own. We reached out to Stillwater Hospice Care after hearing about their organization from a friend and we needed more help than the traditional medical route. We were enamored with this entire crew of professionals from the very beginning. I hope I don't leave anyone out, but I feel it is a must show my appreciation to each and everyone. Stacey and Tonya came to our home and explained the program and assisted us in registering. Once registered, we met Kathleen, the RN who would come to our home and provide a weekly or biweekly checkup and evaluation while also becoming a great friend to our Black Lab, Reco. Lea, another RN, also provided support and loving care for mom after she went to an assisted care facility. Doctor Warr was available any time we needed and also came out for evaluations. Dana was always a welcome voice of serenity. Angie, Ty, Breanna and Parker are beyond comparison and are the example for others in their line of work to follow. This crew will not only provide incredible care for your loved one but be warned, they will also find a way into your heart with their kind, caring and hospitable attitude. In just a short time, they will all become a part of your family. The only reason I'm giving five stars is they don't offer six. May God Bless these folks at Stillwater Hospice Great Falls.”

Thank you so much to this Great Falls family for sending our team this amazing testimonial. 🕊️🙏🏼
