There's a long list of hospices in Kansas City, but there's only one Kansas City Hospice. Our programs provide comprehensive expert care for all ages at all stages of serious illness.

Special Services

In caring for our community since 1980, we've developed unique programs and services to help families cope with serious illness. Together with the largest trained volunteer corps in the city, we're able to provide a comprehensive breadth of services.

Passages

Are you and your siblings uncertain about how to help an aging parent? Is an illness causing frustration and keeping you from living life the way you want to? Has a childhood marked by turmoil, abuse or neglect left emotional scars that cause difficulty in your adult life? Perhaps you doubt your ability to carry on following the death of a loved one. Passages is here to help.

Grief Camps

Two grief camps offer weekend overnight retreats each year. Camp Erin is for teens and children who have experienced the death of someone close to them. Camp Carousel is for grieving families with school-aged children and teens.

Pet Peace of Mind®

Pets are also part of the family, so we offer a program to ease the burden of pet care, such as walking a dog, transporting a pet to vet/grooming appointments, and delivering supplies. Grants and donations help us assist with some routine pet care expenses, such as food and supplies.

We Honor Veterans

We help veterans understand their benefits and connect them to resources they need. Volunteers who are military veterans provide friendly visits and our staff is certified to understand and provide care for our American heroes.
