Fairfield County Hospice House will get Visiting Nurse services

Fairfield County Hospice House Inc. and Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Fairfield County are collaborating to deliver hospice care services to residents of the Fairfield County Hospice House when it opens in Stamford later this year.

The six-bedroom, 10,000-square-foot facility at 1 Den Road in Stamford will house people receiving home hospice services who can no longer remain in their own homes. Fairfield County Hospice House, an independent nonprofit, will accept patients from all qualified hospice agencies so that patients will be able to keep their home hospice teams when they move into the house.

Under the agreement, Norwalk-based Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Fairfield County will provide consulting and advisory services to Hospice House with respect to hospice operations, clinical staffing and training relevant to the provision of hospice and end-of-life care.
