Hospice Services offered by The Lutheran Home provide individuals with compassionate end-of-life comfort care.  These services are not limited to those who are residents of The Lutheran Home, but are available to anyone in Cape Girardeau, Scott, or Perry Counties in Missouri.

Our Mission is to deliver excellent Hospice care to terminally ill individuals.  We are committed to providing patients with quality comfort care while administering spiritual support and compassion to each patient and family.

Hospice provides support and care for individuals who are in the last phases of incurable diseases so that they may live as fully and comfortably as possible.  Hospice affirms life and neither hastens nor postpones death – instead it focuses on maintaining the quality of the individual’s life.  Hospice exists in the hope and belief that through appropriate care and the promotion of a caring community sensitive to their needs, patients and families may be free to attain a satisfactory level of mental and spiritual preparation for death and the acceptance thereof.
