We are so grateful for the kindness of the Glendale Woman's Club. Naomi Buerkle dropped off 100 beautiful handwritten cards to honor our amazing staff for the compassionate care they provide to our patients and families. We appreciate this recognition of our dedicated care teams; they truly love what they do!

Our clinical teams in Tucson recently received specialized dementia training that included an experience we call “Dementia Moments.” It simulates the frustration that people with dementia encounter as cognition and processing speed decline. This demonstrates how vital empathy and understanding are when providing care to those living with Alzheimer's and other dementias.

Watch out, piano duets — there’s a new team in town! When Hospice of the Valley nurse Kathy Mander visited her patient Jo Ann, the two instantly bonded over their shared love of piano. Even at 89 and living with dementia, Jo Ann sat down and played “Amazing Grace” and “Away in a Manger” from memory. They were all smiles sharing the keyboard. Just another day in the life of our amazing nurses! 🎹🩺❤️

Our Story

For more than 40 years, Hospice of the Valley has cared for people with serious, chronic illness and supports their families in the comfort of home. We provide symptom relief, addressing the patient’s medical, emotional and spiritual needs. As one of the nation’s largest not-for-profit hospices, we serve Maricopa and northern Pinal counties in central Arizona. Since 1977, our mission has been constant: comfort and dignity as life nears its end. No one is ever turned away, regardless of insurance status or financial means.

Our services go beyond hospice care, helping those with serious illness who aren’t ready for hospice.

We care for people at all stages of dementia. We assist people transitioning from hospital to home. A nurse is available by phone 24/7. Bilingual care teams serve Spanish speakers. Pediatric and perinatal programs support medically fragile children. Massage, aromatherapy, music and pet visits improve quality of life. We support families every step of the way.
