Hospice workers have what is known as a “hospice heart.” Hospice care isn’t just a job for us – it’s a calling. The people called to this profession are caring, empathetic advocates for patients and their families. At Sioux Center Health, believe that quality healthcare is Christ and family-centered and our hospice care services are an extension of our core values.
Every patient receives a personalized care plan that is based on their goals, needs, and desires.
Care plans may include medical care, pain and symptom management, and emotional and spiritual support. We also support families and caregivers, so they can give their loved one the best quality of life possible.
Sioux Center Health Hospice & Home Care is honored to walk alongside individuals and families in communities within a 30-mile radius. Click on the section below for a full list of communities we serve.
We are committed to providing care to people during the final stage of life’s journey. Hospice care does not seek to cure, does not seek to hasten or prolong, but offers comfort and support for patients and families focused on enhancing the quality of remaining life.

This is the physician who will oversee all of your hospice care. This would be your primary care provider. The hospice medical director will support and make recommendations to your attending physician.
The hospice medical director is the physician who brings experience and expert knowledge of palliative care, symptom management, and end-stage disease management. The physician will lead the review of your physical, emotional, and spiritual symptoms on a regular basis while working closely with the interdisciplinary team.
Our team of hospice nurses has over 30 years of combined experience. The hospice nurse makes regularly scheduled visits and coordinates the patient’s care plan with the interdisciplinary team. They will assess your comfort and any symptoms that need attention, teach family members and friends about caregiving, managing medications, and offer end of life education. Our nurses are on call 24 hours/day, seven days a week.
The social worker is available for listening, counseling, and offering support with education and financial questions. They also offer guidance when a patient can no longer stay in the home by providing referral options. The social worker supports the family and children to help them understand and cope with the expected loss and serves as a liaison between the family’s pastor and the hospice team.
Home health aides work under the supervision of the registered nurse to provide assistance with personal care needs. Sioux Center Health Hospice coordinates with family or long term care provider on the aide’s care plan to determine the best time of day for a visit.
The bereavement coordinator supports your family with a plan to navigate through the grief and loss of a loved one. All families are followed for 13 months after the loss of a loved one. They support each family through phone calls, 1:1 visits, mailings, support groups, and memorial gatherings. The Life After Loss support Group meets once/month in Sioux Center, IA.
Our hospice chaplain offers compassionate listening, comfort, and spiritual support to patients and family members of any or no faith tradition, respecting diversity, dignity, and worth of each person. Patients may choose to receive spiritual support through their local church in addition to our hospice chaplain services.
Volunteers provide companionship and conversation to the patient. A volunteer may read scripture or devotions to a patient, play cards, or just provide a friendly face and listening ear. They can also stay with a patient allowing the family member time to care for themselves, run errands, or attend other activities.
Touch is so important to seriously ill patients. We offer massage therapy as another way to ensure that patients feel the warmth and care around them as well as providing comfort without the use of medications.
Music therapy is provided to patients based on each individual’s needs. A board-certified music therapist (MT-BC) designs sessions using patients’ preferred music to reduce pain and restlessness, provide emotional support, social support, and encourage communication. Family members are welcome to be involved as music therapy can spark the sharing of memories or create comforting memories of final days together.
Sioux Center Health Hospice is committed to serving veterans through end of life. We are a certified level 2 We Honor Veterans organization.
During a patient’s hospice course, we provide a pinning ceremony, honoring the time served for our country and connect the patient to a volunteer who is also a veteran.
