End of Life Care

When you or a loved one needs the physical, emotional and spiritual care of a hospice provider, Mahaska Health Partnership Home Health and Hospice Services is available to help meet your needs.

When to call hospice

• When you see a sudden decline in your loved one’s condition
• When your loved one has reached a point where they need clinical care that goes beyond what can be provided in the home
