Compassus is specially trained to care for patients who served in any military branch and their loved ones. As a partner in the We Honor Veterans Program, Compassus is working to improve veterans' access to hospice care to assure that every veteran is able to receive hospice care at the time and place of need. In order to make this goal succeed we are in need of Veteran volunteers for our Veteran patients.
Veterans are needed for supporting our patients during the last days of their lives. Veterans are unique and need the support of those who understand where they have been and what they have been through. We match Veterans to Veterans.
We are a local hospice that serves the communities that we live and work among. Our volunteers serve their neighbors and those nearby.

We serve those who are eligible for hospice care who reside in Franklin County, Hampden County and Hampshire County. Compassus Hospice provides end-of-life care to those who wish to be under the care of hospice and who meet the criteria. Hospice is for those whose life expectancy is six months or less. Our team is experienced in meeting the end-of-life needs of the patients with whom we work. Our goal is to provide compassionate care, psychosocial support, companionship, spiritual support and comfort to our patients to enhance the quality of their lives, remain comfortable and to die with dignity. With our patients and their loved ones, our team develops a comprehensive plan of care to best manage the patient's symptoms, values and wishes.
We believe that every moment of life is meaningful. We want our patients to live to their fullest abilities and enjoy their remaining time at the end of their lives.
