One of the lesser-discussed benefits of hospice care is its impact on healthcare costs. Hospice is 100% covered under the Medicare benefit, which relieves the patient and caregiver of the stress of financial burden during end of life.

Hospice care reduces the need for costly procedures, emergency room visits, and extended hospital stays. By managing symptoms and providing comfort-based care at home or in facilities, hospice services help avoid many of the costs associated with frequent hospitalizations.

Studies have consistently shown that hospice patients incur significantly lower healthcare costs than those receiving aggressive treatments in hospitals during their final days. Medicare, Medicaid, and other insurance providers cover hospice costs, making it an accessible option that alleviates financial stress for families.

This season, Appalachian Hospice Care invites you to take part in a beautiful act of remembrance and compassion. Through our Hearts for Hospice fundraiser, you can honor or remember someone special by placing a heart at some participating local banks.

❤️ Each heart represents a donation that directly supports families in our community who are struggling with medical costs. Your generosity helps us extend our care to those who need it most.
Founded in 1991, Appalachian Hospice Care (AHC) has proudly served Floyd, Johnson, Magoffin, Martin, and Pike Counties in the Big Sandy Region of Eastern Kentucky for over two decades.

🏥 We provide compassionate, comprehensive hospice services to patients facing life-limiting illnesses — and we are proud to be the ONLY locally owned and operated hospice agency in the Big Sandy Region.

Let your heart make a difference. Visit a participating bank and place a heart today 💜

This Hearts for Hospice Event will run for the month of November.

Our Story

Appalachian Hospice Care was founded in 1991 and has been serving the Big Sandy region of Pike, Floyd, Martin, Magoffin, and Johnson Counties in Kentucky ever since. As the area’s locally owned and operated hospice, AHC has made it our mission to provide quality, compassionate care to folks when they need it the most. As a not-for-profit agency, AHC works to reduce out-of-pocket spending on equipment, medication, and supplies, and never turns anybody away because of their inability of pay.

Hospice is a special kind of comfort care designed to treat patients who are suffering from life-limiting illnesses (Cancer, Cardiac Disease, Pulmonary Disease, Renal Disease, Liver Disease, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and others). The hospice program aims to control pain and symptoms of patients who decide to no longer seek treatment. Our ultimate goal is help patients and their families live as fully as possible.

Skilled nursing, personal care, medical social work, spiritual support, and grief counseling services are all offered by our team. Our hospice care team is comprised of a Medical Director, highly skilled Nurses, Social Workers, Chaplains, Certified Nurse Aides, and trained volunteers.

Call us today to learn more about hospice, schedule a free consultation, or to refer yourself or a loved one. Our patients and their loved ones are always a part of our Appalachian Hospice Care family!
