Hospice Respite Care

Caring for a loved one at the end of life can be physically and emotionally demanding. That’s why The Denver Hospice offers Respite Hospice Care. This is a short-term inpatient care option that provides family caregivers with a much-needed break, while ensuring the patient continues to receive high-quality, compassionate care.

Respite care is available for up to five consecutive days and is often used when caregivers are traveling, recovering from illness, or simply need time to rest and recharge. During this time, patients stay at our peaceful Inpatient Care Center in Denver, where they receive 24/7 support for up to five days from our experienced hospice team.

Our respite hospice care services in Denver include:

•  - 24/7 nursing care in a home-like inpatient setting
•  - Expert symptom and pain management
•  - Personal care, including bathing, meals, and comfort measures
•  - Access to chaplains, counselors, and emotional support
•  - A calm, comforting space designed for healing and rest

At The Denver Hospice, we honor the vital role caregivers play in a patient’s journey. Respite hospice care offers a safe, supportive environment where your loved one is cared for with compassion—while you take time to care for yourself.
