Whatcom Hospice Foundation
Whatcom Hospice provides life-affirming care for patients and families with advanced illness or disease. The multi-disciplinary hospice care team serves patients wherever they live – in their own homes, assisted living, skilled nursing facilities, or senior living communities. Short-term inpatient hospice care is also available for appropriate patients in the Whatcom Hospice House, located in the Happy Valley neighborhood of Bellingham. The hospice team helps with the medical, social, emotional, and spiritual concerns that can arise during the final months of life. Whatcom Hospice serves patients with a limited life expectancy who choose to seek care that focuses on comfort, dignity, and individual quality of life rather than curative treatment. Medicare and most other insurance plans cover hospice services.
