Beacon Hospice - Charlestown
Beacon Hospice is committed to providing the best hospice and palliative care experience available.
In every area of hospice care, we try to do more than what is required-and expected. The desire to do more can be seen in the passion and commitment of our staff and volunteers. It can also be measured by the services we offer, which go above and beyond what typical hospices offer.
Beacon's approach to hospice care creates a patient and family environment of hope, comfort and dignity. Beacon Hospice is a Medicare and Medicaid Certified program providing superior end-of-life care services. Founded in 1993 to better serve the needs of terminally ill patients, Beacon Hospice believes in "quality of living." Driven by patients' choices and the manner that they wish to live out their lives, we're striving to establish the highest standard of hospice care.
