Halifax Health - Hospice of Volusia/Flagler
Halifax Health - Hospice of Volusia/Flagler, licensed since 1979, has been the community not-for-profit hospice caring for those with life-limiting illnesses and their families. As one of the oldest and largest hospices in the nation, the expertise of the 400 staff members and 600 trained volunteers enables more than 600 patients each day to live every moment to its fullest.
Halifax Health - Hospice of Volusia/Flagler serves all qualified people regardless of race, color, national origin, age, sex, handicap, religion, sexual orientation, disease type or ability to pay. Referrals to hospice can be made by anyone. To be eligible for The Hospice of Volusia/Flagler services, a patient must:
- Live in Volusia or Flagler county
- Have a life-limiting diagnosis with a life expectancy of six months or less
- Have a desire to receive comfort, care and compassion instead of cure
Although hospice care enables most patients to stay at home during their final months of life, hospice services are provided wherever the patient resides - in an assisted living facility, nursing home, hospital, our 16-bed inpatient Care Center in Port Orange, our 18-bed Care Center in DeLand or our 12-bed Care Center in Edgewater. Hospice services are covered under Medicare Part A, Medicare HMOs, Florida Medicaid and most insurance companies. For those without financial resources, a sliding fee scale is available in addition to memorial donations we receive which can help offset necessary care.
