Home health & hospice

To refer a patient to any of our services, call us at 253-301-6500. Regular communication between our team and you ensures we are helping you provide the right care for your patient at all times.

The patient will be contacted by a registered nurse and/or social worker to schedule an admission evaluation within 24 hours if the initial referral is made Monday – Friday, and by the next business day if made on a weekend.

Our team includes an on-staff medical director, so we are able to make any urgent medical decisions for our patients as necessary. It is always our goal to work closely with our patients’ own doctors and other members of their health care team. Part of our admissions process includes understanding the patient’s current medical treatment plan so that we can support the care goals you and your patient have set together.
