Our inpatient centers currently remain open, however, all visitors are being screened by our staff for possible COVID-19 infection exposure prior to entry. All visitors are encouraged to utilize the hand sanitizers stationed at the entrance of each facility.

Arkansas Hospice has and continues to adhere to a set of strenuous policies in compliance with CDC standards to help control the spread of infectious diseases.

Visitors to Arkansas Hospice patients in nursing homes and other contracted facilities are subject to the visitation policies of each facility. We are adhering to changing clinical protocols at long-term care facilities and hospitals.

Your entire team brought into these tender and delicate moments compassion, kindness, gentleness, thoughtfulness, and quick responsiveness.

I have nothing but the best things to say about Arkansas Hospice. They were so good to my Dad before he passed away. The love and care, compassion they showed to my dad was priceless. The nurses and CNA’s that took care of my Dad are the best and always be the best.

The skilled and professional care and attention your team gave our mother made it possible for Mom to be granted her wish to die comfortably at home.

We are just starting our dad’s final journey and Arkansas Hospice has been a blessing. They’ve taught us so much already and provide as much support and comfort to the family as they do my dad. I’m grateful they’ll be walking this final path with us.

Arkansas Hospice took care of my Mom before she passed. It was my first experience with any hospice and I was amazed. They took such great care of her. They treated her with dignity and respect until the end.
