Do most hospice patients die at home?
Yes. Hospice of Kankakee Valley is primarily home-based. If pain and symptoms cannot be controlled at home, patients can be hospitalized; however, this is extremely rare: less than one percent of HKV care days were spent in the hospital over the past year. We also have contracts with Momence Meadows, Provena Heritage Village, Miller Center, Provena Our Lady of Victory Nursing Home, Manor Care Health Services, Bourbonnais Terrace, Merkle Knipprath, and the Illinois Veteran’s Home at Manteno, and serve people who call these facilities home.
