By your side whenever you need us, wherever you call home.
Hospice is not a place, it’s a philosophy of care. We provide the best hospice care possible wherever our patients need us, in every corner of our five-county region. Whether that is in the patient’s home or apartment, a residential care center, a hospital, or at our Leila & Cyrus Poppen Hospice Residence, the Harbor Hospice team will be there.
At Home
Home care is the core of hospice care, and Harbor Hospice understands the importance for so many of being at home surrounded by the people, the pets, and the lifetime of things they love. Home is where memories are made. Being cared for by loved ones in those familiar surroundings can bring immense comfort and peace to a person, especially as they near the end of their life. Harbor Hospice can help make it possible for a person to remain in their home during that tender time, with the support of family members, friends, and caregivers.
We also recognize it is not an easy task for a family to take on the role of caregiver for a loved one who nearing the end of their life. The Harbor Hospice team will teach family members how to care for their loved one and will provide care support with visiting nurses, physicians, social workers, certified home health aides, and others with 24-hour on-call contact.
In a Residential Care Center, Hospital, or Facility
Harbor Hospice provides care anywhere a patient lives, including in hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted-living facilities. The Harbor Hospice team shares their expertise in end-of-life care with the center staff so patients can have the best life possible at the end of their lives.
At the Leila & Cyrus Poppen Hospice Residence
The Leila & Cyrus Poppen Hospice Residence in Muskegon may be the perfect choice for a patient when providing care for them at home is not an option. The Poppen House has been designed with the comfort of patients and families in mind with inspiring views from the pillow for our patients who may never be able to leave their bed. The Poppen House is staffed around the clock by specially trained nurses and aides. Hospice volunteers provide an extra layer of warmth and emotional support for patients and visitors, and they are compassionate listeners for those navigating the difficult task of saying goodbye to someone they love.
