Serving your country in the military is a special calling that takes a mental and physical toll on veterans, which is why veterans deserve an end-of-life journey that is carried out with respect, dignity, and meaning. At Homage Hospice, we recognize veterans’ sacrifice and provide hospice care that empowers veterans to thrive under our care.
We Honor Veterans at Homage Hospice
We are proud to partner with the We Honor Veterans program run by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and the National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization. This program helps connect veterans with hospices like Homage Hospice, who strive to improve hospice care for veterans through compassionate listening, respectful inquiry, and grateful acknowledgment.
What To Expect From Veteran Hospice Care
While veteran hospice care is pretty similar to standard hospice care for civilians, there is a difference in physical and emotional health needs. Because many veterans experience high levels of physical and emotional pain at some point during their service, receiving a terminal diagnosis can be triggering. For example, an annual report from the National Center for PTSD revealed that of the 5.8 million veterans who served in 2024, 14% of men and 24% of women were diagnosed with PTSD.
Often, veterans in hospice care will experience complex emotions like grief, anger, and fear, and many will suffer from traumatic effects from their pasts, which lead to depression, sleep disorders, aggression, and anxiety.
Our dedicated multi-disciplinary team of physicians, nursing staff, hospice aids, bereavement specialists, and spiritual counselors understand that veterans need customized plans tailored to their unique and complex needs.
