There’s a long list of hospices in Kansas City, but there’s only one Kansas City Hospice! 

Our commitment to Kansas City
KC’s original hospice, leader in palliative home health care, serving the greater Kansas City area since 1980. Local leadership keeps our focus on caring for our community with expertise and compassion.

Unmatched expertise
Our award-winning palliative care experts include board-certified physicians, nurse practitioners and five teams of RNs, social workers, chaplains, CNAs, art/music therapists and grief support specialists. 

Outstanding volunteers
More than 300 dedicated volunteers work to bring such a breadth of services to patients and families. They assist the care teams, work to grant wishes, provide special services to veterans and even care for pets in times of need.

A place almost like home
When care is too complicated to take place at home, Kansas City Hospice House™ and NorthCare Hospice House provide a quiet and safe haven for patients and families alike.

Still nonprofit
Our focus is on caring for our community instead of maximizing our bottom line. Our commitment is to care for all ages at all stages of serious illness, making sure the whole family receives support all along the way. 

Dedicated care team for children
It takes special skills and special hearts to care for seriously ill children and their families. Carousel Pediatric Care can start working even before birth to make sure whatever time a child has here with us is full of love.

Comprehensive grief and counseling services
In addition to expert grief support specialists, we offer many ways for youth, individuals and families to find comfort during and after a loss. Solace House is the Midwest’s premier center for grief and healing. Passages offers counseling for those experiencing complicated grief, a difficult life transition or healing from trauma and loss. Camp Erin and Camp Carousel are weekend grief camps for children and families.
