One of the many benefits of early hospice enrollment is the ability to avoid unnecessary interventions. Hospice care focuses on comfort and dignity, rather than aggressive treatments that may cause added stress or repeated hospital visits. This approach helps individuals spend more time in the comfort of home, surrounded by loved ones, and less time in clinical settings.

At Hospice of the Northwest, our care team works closely with patients and families to honor what matters most. By prioritizing comfort and quality of life, we help create space for meaningful moments together. If you’re wondering whether hospice care could benefit your loved one, we are here to listen and support you every step of the way.

Today is Grief Awareness Day

Grief can be overwhelming, unpredictable, and deeply personal. There is no “right” way to navigate it, and your journey is uniquely your own. At Hospice of the Northwest, we honor that journey and are here to offer comfort, understanding, and support whenever you need it.

Our bereavement resources are freely available to anyone in the community. Whether you seek the connection of a support group, the privacy of one-on-one counseling, or the quiet solace of a book from our volunteer-managed grief lending library—the largest in the area—there are many paths to finding the support that feels right for you.

However you choose to walk through grief, we are here to walk alongside you. Learn more about bereavement support through Hospice of the Northwest by visiting

Have you considered what matters most to you in your healthcare journey? Advance Care Planning is a beautiful way to ensure your voice is heard and your wishes are honored, bringing peace of mind to you and your loved ones. It's a gift of compassion, allowing you to live fully and peacefully, on your own terms.

Our latest article explores the five meaningful benefits of this process—from finding comfort and dignity to reducing the burden on your family.

We're also honored to invite you to a special Advance Care Planning workshop in partnership with Skagit Regional Health. Our palliative care experts will be there to gently guide you through the process, answering your questions with warmth and understanding.

Myth: If I am not in pain, I am not ready for hospice care.

Reality: Hospice care is about so much more than pain management. While controlling pain and symptoms is an important part of what we do, hospice also provides emotional, social, and spiritual support tailored to each individual’s needs and goals.

It's a common belief that hospice is only for the very end of life, but many patients find that enrolling earlier can be a true gift. Early enrollment can give you and your loved ones more time to benefit from the support we offer and focus on what truly matters—making the most of every moment together. Our compassionate team is here to journey with you, offering a listening ear and a helping hand with important end-of-life decisions.

At Hospice of the Northwest, we are here to walk alongside you and your loved ones, ensuring that care is focused on dignity, comfort, and the things that matter most. Learn more about the benefits of hospice care today by visiting:
