Why choose nonprofit hospice care?
Nonprofit hospices, like Housecall Providers Hospice, prioritize patient well-being and holistic care over financial gain, operating with fundamentally different philosophies, goals and impacts on the patients, families and communities they serve in comparison to for-profit hospices.
This focus is reflected in resource allocation, as nonprofit hospices deliver 10% more nursing visits, 35% more social worker visits and twice as many therapy visits per day, per 100 patients.
By contrast, for‑profit hospices spend over 300% more on advertising, invest less than half as much in bereavement services and maintain a 19.9% profit margin compared to 3% for nonprofits – retaining a far greater share of Medicare payments as profit, while nonprofits reinvest most revenue into patient care and community support.

Hospice or palliative care – which is right for me?
In addition to hospice care, we also offer community-based palliative care through the Housecall Providers Advanced Illness Care program. Hospice care and palliative care both focus on the comfort, care and quality-of-life of individuals with a serious illness. Hospice care is a specific type of palliative care that is provided in the final weeks or months of life.
Our team is available to help you learn more about these two types of care to determine which may be most appropriate for you or a loved one.
