Hospice Care
When your loved one is facing the end stages of a terminal diagnosis, our hospice care services are here to help you provide them with dignity and support throughout this profound journey. When a patient is recognized as eligible for hospice by their physician, the transition can begin as soon as they, or their designated healthcare decision-maker, agree to shift from a curative focus to embracing the compassionate comfort-based care offered by hospice services.
Our Care Plans
Our team includes doctors, licensed nurses, social workers, chaplains, and others who ensure our patients have every needed resource. We serve our patients by putting good, caring people by their side, whether they live in a house, apartment, or an assisted living community. Some patients reside in a 24/7 skilled nursing facility, and our hospice services complement the care they receive from on-site nurses.
Hospice Care Services
Deciding to go into hospice care is a personal and sensitive choice that is made with the help of a physician. It’s best considered if your loved one has a life expectancy of six months or less; this is a time when the focus shifts from active treatment to ensuring comfort by managing their pain and enhancing their quality of life. Give us a call, and a representative can explain the full range of care we offer. A nurse will evaluate, and a personalized care plan will be developed with the patient’s goals as the priority.
Care. Compassion. Empathy. You can count on your hospice nurses to ensure your loved one’s comfort through expert care and medication management.
We provide compassionate support for our patient’s medical, emotional, and spiritual needs, as well as assisting with daily self-care tasks like incontinence care, bathing and dressing.
Your loved one should not face end-of-life with unmanaged pain. Pain management will improve the quality of life for patients by allowing them to engage more fully and cherish meaningful moments with loved ones.
Music therapy, massage therapy, and other therapeutic modalities are integral parts of the care we offer in hospice. Holistic care is a vital part of what we do.
Special medical equipment can greatly enhance your loved one’s comfort at this time. We provide everything needed to ensure their well-being and your peace of mind.
Our hospice experts are ready and waiting for your call. We’ll ensure you get the help you need, day or night.
Grief may manifest in many phases and stages for you and your loved one. Our bereavement services are designed to address a range of practical, emotional, and spiritual needs, providing support throughout this journey.
When a Medicare patient chooses hospice care, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will directly cover the costs related to the terminal diagnosis through the hospice provider. Any physician services needed are billed by the hospice based on the type of service provided.
Pharmacy Support
Our mission is to make comfort medications accessible and delivered to you when and where you need them 24 hours per day.
Access to Doctors/Nurses
Your nurse makes regular visits to assess you and provide additional care or other services. The nurse, along with the Hospice doctor, are on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week to meet your needs.
Testimonials
It is with great pleasure that I am writing this review for Home Care Connectors of Greenwich CT. They were able to provide an exceptional CNA , Sakhile , the day after I called them. I had major back surgery and needed alot of help with daily tasks. I had an unpleasant experience with my previous caregiver from another agency so I was reluctant to try again. I couldn’t have been more pleasantly surprised.
Sakhile , my CNA, is one of the brightest, kindest , gentlest humans whom I have ever had the privilege of meeting. He is always at least one step ahead of me ,offering exactly the right amount of care and support which is ever changing. He cheers me on and encourages me. He lets me think that I’m doing it on my own even though he’s constantly paying close attention to what I’m doing and is always there if I stumble . He has a great sense of humor and is a brilliant chess player.
He has helped me through a difficult time physically and emotionally as I very recently had to put my 92 year old mom into an assisted living facility. He has become a dear and trusted friend who has brought me much joy.
Every one who I have communicated with at the agency has been profession and kind . Again, I highly recommend Home Care Connections of Greenwich CT

Highly recommend Health Care Connectors in Greenwich! My home nurse was Gladys, who provided me with the physical and mental care I very much needed after my surgery. Our connection was immediate. Her genuine warmth and caring manner put me at ease as it was easy to see that she was there to give her all to make me comfortable. With her excellent professional experience and background knowledge, she was able to answer all my questions. Her added knowledge of wound care gave me the comfort and reassurance that all was going well before my post op doctors appointment.
Gladys has the unique ability to problem solve and assess a situation before making a decision. A characteristic I found very helpful. She very patiently listens, giving value and support to my pain and then offering information that proved very helpful.
I cannot say enough positive about her care. She was exactly the person I needed to help me. I am extremely thankful to her and commend your agency for hiring such an exceptional individual!

It is with pleasure that I recommend the services of Home Care Connectors and particularly Tutu Olomela, administrator to assist with in-home care. Our specific needs of 24 hour care included transport, caregivers, nursing and physical therapy. Tutu was there to respond immediately, offering flexibility of services in a kind and considerate manor. Financial accounting was accurate, thorough and dependable. And most important, the caregivers were competent, caring and professional.

The HomeCare Connectors team is amazing! JP is a fountain of knowledge and advice on navigating what is a really tough time, and one that most of us (luckily) don’t have to go through often. He and the team were always available to answer questions and went above and beyond in caring for my dad’s partner. We build a strong relationship and I’m happy to have JP as a resource as I now navigate my dad’s long term care situation. I highly recommend HCC!

Upon being released from the Civita Care on Long Ridge Road I was sent to Healthcare Connecters of Greenwich.for a follow up. Since I had a rocky start with them before I went to the convalescent hospital I was cautious.
My time this time was one million percent better. The nurse, physical therapy, and the aides the have sent are punctual and very nice.
