About this resource
St. Croix Hospice is a Midwest-based hospice provider that delivers comfort-focused, end-of-life care to patients and their families across ten states, including Michigan. Its mission centers on preserving dignity and quality of life when a cure is no longer the goal, bringing a coordinated care team directly to wherever a patient calls home — a private residence, an assisted living community, or a skilled nursing facility.
Care is provided by an interdisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, hospice aides, social workers, chaplains, and trained volunteers who manage pain and symptoms, coordinate medications and equipment, and support the whole family. Beyond standard hospice services, St. Croix Hospice offers specialized programs for common late-life needs, including the North Star Dementia Program, a Heart Failure Program, wound care, falls prevention, and the Voyage Vigil Program for the final days of life. Bereavement support continues for the family for up to 13 months after a loved one passes.
For Michigan caregivers, this resource matters because hospice can ease an exhausting and isolating stretch of the caregiving journey. The team is reachable 24 hours a day at 855-278-2764, and admissions — including weekend admissions through the BridgeCare program — can begin quickly once a physician confirms eligibility (generally a prognosis of six months or less if the illness runs its expected course). Families do not have to navigate the final chapter alone; hospice brings clinical expertise, emotional support, and practical guidance into the home so caregivers can focus on being present with the person they love.
