Hospice volunteers offer time, compassion and human connection when it matters most.

From sitting quietly to offering companionship or giving caregivers a short break, volunteers help ensure no one feels alone.

You don’t need a healthcare background.
You don’t need the perfect words.
Just a willingness to show up.

Dealing with grief can be difficult, especially without a support system or during quiet moments.

Grief is not something to avoid, but rather something to accept and move forward with as life goes on.

For some, this process can be tough, which is why we've created a blog on managing grief when you're alone.

Some useful activities include writing letters, mindfulness walking, controlled breathing, five senses grounding or engaging in creative pursuits.

Caregiving can be deeply meaningful and demanding. Reaching out for support is about making the journey more sustainable for both of you.

Nurses are at the forefront of every great healthcare organization.

Being stretched thin prevents great care, and St. Croix Hospice recognizes this.

We've built a culture that prioritizes both patient care and nurse well-being.

Families are given the opportunity to connect with clinical staff in meaningful ways, while team members are supported by their peers and leaders.

Hospice is often known for serving patients with life-limiting illnesses such as cancer, dementia or Alzheimer's.

However, hospice is also open for anyone with a life expectancy of 6 months or less, regardless of health condition.

During hospice, families can begin to focus on comfort, making the most of what time is left.

And we open the door for you.

Did you know hospice takes care of patients and families before, during and after services?

We give families the opportunity to take breaks from caregiving, answer prolonging questions and, after end of life, offer bereavement services.

After utilizing St. Croix Hospice's services, our bereavement team will reach out to families interested in bereavement services.

This includes 13 months of support through phone calls, zoom visits, support groups and newsletters via text or mail.

Choosing a hospice can feel overwhelming when many are nearby. But regardless, quality is most important when selecting.

Here is how you can check care quality:

- Google Reviews
- CMS Quality Score
- Calling the local hospice
- Asking facility staff

Google Reviews can offer real experiences from families, while CMS Quality Scores provide a standardized look at measurable outcomes. Calling the hospice directly helps you get a sense of their communication and support, and asking facility staff can provide an inside look into how they operate.

If you’re exploring options, St. Croix Hospice is one of many providers committed to delivering quality, compassionate care.

As we caregive for someone, recognition can feel reassuring — a simple reminder that our effort is seen.

But sometimes, the person we care for may not be able to express it.

And others may never fully understand what we’ve carried.

It’s okay to acknowledge your own resilience.

It’s okay to recognize how much you’ve poured from your own cup.

Even when no one says it out loud, what you’re doing matters.
