Our mission at HaysMed Hospice and Palliative Care is to enhance life’s journey for our patients and families facing serious illness, death and grief – and we do this by offering care and education with respect, dignity and hope.
We provide compassionate care for people of all ages facing a life-limiting illness. We always take a team approach to medical care, pain and symptom management. We provide emotional and spiritual support tailored to each patient’s needs and wishes, and offer support for loved ones as well.
Our hospice care services are Medicare certified and licensed, and we are proud to be a member of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO). Our hospice and palliative care services are designed to:

For each patient and family, our interdisciplinary team writes a care plan tailored to individual needs. All visits are based on individual and family preferences and the condition of the patient during the course of the illness. In addition to scheduled visits, hospice nurses are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week as needed.
To contact us for any type of assistance, call 785-623-6200 or 1-800-248-0073.
You can continue with your physician(s) of choice while on hospice. Our services are overseen by our Hospice Medical Director as well as our attending physicians.
Hospice services are generally provided in the patient’s home. This may be an apartment, assisted living, a friend or family member’s home, or a nursing home. In order to receive services when residing in a nursing home or assisted living center, our hospice services must have a contract with the facility.
Hospice patients do not have to be homebound and are encouraged to be as active as they wish.
Services are usually started at the request of the primary physician. However, inquiries can be made by the patient, family, friends, clergy or other healthcare providers. Hospice services are indicated when curative treatment will no longer be effective or is no longer desired by the patient. Permission of the patient or representative, Hospice Medical Director and primary physician are required.
Hospice care is provided by an interdisciplinary team of healthcare professionals and volunteers. The services routinely provided are nursing visits, social worker visits, hospice aide visits and pastoral care visits. Specially trained volunteers are available to assist when desired by the patient or family. Volunteers do not provide hands-on care. Other services provided when needed are physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and nutritional counseling. A hospice nurse is on call 24/7. Hospice pays for medications, medical supplies and equipment related to comfort care for the terminal illness.
Hospice care is appropriate for any person from birth forward who has an illness that cannot be cured, and life expectancy is less than six months. Hospice is available for any illness, such as stroke, coma, heart disease, HIV, ALS, Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia, lung disease, renal (kidney) disease, cancer and any other disease in the terminal phase.
Medicare, Medicaid and some private insurances cover hospice. At HaysMed, our hospice team cares for people regardless of insurance coverage. Hospice relies on donations and memorials to cover costs that exceed monies received from insurance.
Volunteers are an essential part of hospice care. While our volunteers do not provide hands-on patient care, they each bring their own unique skills and gifts to assist in a variety of roles:
