Due to COVID, we only allow two visitors to visit with a patient at a time during the hours of 10am-12pm and 3pm-7pm. All visitors are screened before entry and will be provided PPE (personal protective equipment) to be worn while in the building. We ask that no visitors congregate in common areas at this time. There may be additional visitor precautions taken during Hospicare’s 10-day observation period for new residence patients. If you have questions, please call us at 607-272-0212 during business hours (M-F, 8:30am-4:30pm).
Our Mission
Our mission is to bring medical expertise and compassionate, respectful care to people and their loved ones at any stage of a life-threatening illness, and to provide information and education about advanced illness, dying, and bereavement to the entire community.
