Pathways
Mission: Honoring every moment of life, Pathways provides compassionate, excellent, comprehensive care for those who have an advanced medical condition and those who are grieving. Vision: Pathways is committed to being northern Colorado’s preferred provider of hospice and palliative care services through excellent patient care in all settings, as well as comprehensive grief support. We educate about end-of-life care, partner with caregivers, remain good financial stewards, grow to meet our community’s needs, and strive to be an employer of choice. Service Area: Larimer and Weld counties including the cities of Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley and Windsor. Staff: Pathways Hospice has a staff of more than 120 employees and 250 volunteers. Locations: Pathways patients may reside at home, caregivers’ homes, long-term care facilities, or our inpatient care center at McKee Medical Center in Loveland. Services are brought to the “home” to assist family members in providing care for patients. Eligibility: Hospice care is for any person with a life-limiting illness. Although in its first years hospice care served primarily cancer patients, today all life-threatening illnesses and conditions are included in hospice care. Payment: In most cases, hospice services are paid for by Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance. As a non-profit, Pathways evaluates each situation to ensure patients receive the care they need, no one is denied care based on inability to pay.
