Lifecare Referral

Refer for home care or ask about hospice services.

Choose Provider Attendant Services, skilled services, or hospice services. The hospice option sends a contact request so our team can call you. Share only the nonmedical contact details needed to follow up.

Contact our intake team

Choose the service you want to ask about.

Share contact information and a few nonmedical details. For PAS and skilled services, we can help begin the referral process. For hospice services, our team will contact you to discuss your request.

Which service do you want to contact us about?

Choose one care path. We will ask only the nonmedical questions needed to make contact.

Three service paths

Each service begins with the right kind of conversation.

Physician or hospital referral

Skilled home health is provided through a physician-coordinated plan of care. A physician, hospital discharge planner, or other referring care partner can call or fax to start the process.

Hospice conversation

Patients, families, providers, and care partners can call with general questions about Hospitality Hospice Services and the appropriate next step.

Family or community referral

Families, case managers, social workers, and community partners can call us directly to ask about provider attendant services and the support available at home.

Two ways to refer

Call with questions or use secure fax for clinical documents.

Call intake

Call our intake team to discuss the referral, verify the service area, or clarify the appropriate next step before sending documents.

What happens next

What to expect after you refer.

  1. We review the referral details and confirm whether the requested service is within our current scope and service area.

  2. We contact the patient or family and discuss the next administrative or clinical step needed to begin.

  3. For skilled home health, we coordinate the plan of care with the treating physician or referring care team.

  4. When appropriate, a skilled clinician completes the initial home visit and begins services under the established plan.

  5. We communicate with the referring care team as required by the plan of care and referral process.

Who can refer

We work with the whole care team.

Physicians

Primary care physicians and specialists can initiate a referral by phone or fax. Our intake team coordinates the appropriate administrative next steps.

Discharge planners

Hospital discharge planners can coordinate directly with our intake team to arrange home care before the patient leaves the facility.

Case managers

Community and healthcare case managers can refer patients and coordinate with our intake team as the plan moves forward.

Families and caregivers

Family members and caregivers can start a referral directly, especially for attendant and everyday support, no physician order required. For skilled home health, we will coordinate with the treating physician.
