No. While most hospice care is provided to patients in their personal residence, many patients live in nursing homes or assisted living facilities. Hospice of the North Shore & Greater Boston provides care in patients’ homes, nearly 50 area nursing homes and assisted living facilities, hospice units in area hospitals, and at the Kaplan Family Hospice House in Danvers, MA.
