Heritage Hospice

Heritage Hospice is a family-founded hospice that takes pride in providing our patients with comfort, dignity and peace either in the comfort of their own home or in a skilled facility of their choice. We have Registered Nurses available and on-call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All of the services included in your hospice plan of care are paid in full by the Medicare and Medicaid hospice benefit. We are there to answer your questions and help you make meaningful decisions. The vision was of a company that truly recognized their greatest asset which is their employees. Excellent employees are what separate good organizations from excellent organizations and recognizing those employees is just as important. We recognize that maintaining top-notch employees and outstanding nursing to patient ratios reduces employee turnover which improves staff satisfaction scores, provides continuity of care for patients, and overall improves what they are striving for which is to be the best hospice in Western Pennsylvania . Secondly, our vision is to have a company that is so involved within the local community that it is truly known as the hospice of choice within the surrounding areas and recognized as an organization that gives back to the local community. Within the short time since our first patient came on service in April of 2011, local events are already in the planning stages such as an annual 5k walk and a summer softball tournament to raise funds for local charities. Patient outreach programs are also in the planning stages so that the general public can be better educated on who is appropriate for hospice care and what benefits hospice care provides to those individuals qualifying for this additional care they are entitled to. This education will lead to more patients utilizing this benefit which can be life changing for patients and their families.
