Stillwater Hospice Butte

Stillwater Hospice Butte Stillwater Hospice in Butte, Montana honors and respects the sacred process that is end-of-life care.

Locally owned, we are redefining hospice care by providing a combination of professional medical care and an outstanding support network designed to meet the needs of our patients and their families. We take the time to educate you on what hospice is, how it benefits those we work with, and how we help make every moment count. Learn more about the Highlands Hospice (now a part of the Stillwater Hospice family) difference. At its most basic, hospice care encompasses the services needed to maintain the comfort and dignity of a person whose life is limited. At Stillwater Hospice, however, we believe hospice care is far more than that. It is the opportunity to compassionately honor life, instill hope, and allow our patients to make the most of the days, weeks and months they may have left to live. Stillwater Hospice services can be provided to terminally ill people wherever they live. This means a patient living in a nursing facility or long-term care facility can receive specialized visits from our nurses, home health aides, chaplains, social workers, and volunteers, in addition to other care and services provided by the nursing facility. Stillwater Hospice professionals and the nursing home have a written agreement in place for the hospice to serve residents of the facility. Hospice care serves those who have any terminal, or life-ending, condition. Therefore, it is appropriate to consider hospice once “curative” treatments—those designed to restore good health—will no longer be used. Once entering hospice, each patient receives an individualized treatment plan reflecting their personal goals, medical needs, and the level of support required. In our experience, hospice care can positively impact a patient’s spouse, partner, and family as much as it does the patient. We can help reduce stress and worry by providing knowledge, structure, and support.

National Care at Home Month: Hospice and Palliative Care Week. 🕊️

Hospice and palliative care are not about giving up—they are about comfort, dignity, presence, and honoring the whole person. The focus is on quality of life, meaningful connection, symptom relief, and emotional and spiritual support.

Thank you to every caregiver, clinician, volunteer, and companion who walks alongside patients and families with skill, compassion, and grace.

➡️ A Brief History
Modern hospice began in the 1960s when Dame Cicely Saunders, a British nurse, social worker, and physician, introduced the concept of specialized care for people nearing the end of life. She founded St. Christopher’s Hospice in London in 1967, combining medical excellence with emotional and spiritual support. Hospice came to the United States in 1974, and in 1982, a federal hospice benefit was created to ensure access to compassionate care. Palliative care later expanded this model, offering relief from pain and stress at any stage of serious illness.

➡️ Why It Matters
Hospice and palliative care help individuals live fully and meaningfully—whether that means time with loved ones, managing symptoms to stay comfortable, or finding peace in life’s final chapters.

The final stages of life can bring changes like eating less, sleeping more, withdrawing, visions of loved ones, cold hands or feet, restless movements, shifts in breathing, and even a brief burst of energy called “The Rally.”

These signs are a natural part of the dying process, though they can feel scary if you’re not prepared.
