Gentiva Hospice

Our place is by your side. At Gentiva Hospice, delivering compassionate care isn’t just our privilege – it’s our calling.

Serving the needs of those in our communities facing life-limiting illnesses, we provide physical, emotional, and spiritual support to help patients live with the dignity and grace they deserve – and families make the most of every moment.

The theme for this National Assisted Living Week is “Ageless Adventure.” Our work regularly gives us a front row seat to the way these communities empower residents to stay active, engaged, and supported. If you have a family member or loved one in assisted living, we encourage you to spend time with them discovering the things that have brought meaning to their lives.
