Five Touchstones of Hospice Design

  • As Homelike as Possible

    Many patients prefer to spend their final days in their own homes. When that is not possible, a well-designed hospice facility provides a home-like environment that is also staffed and equipped to handle end-of-life complications around the clock.

  • Ready for High-Acuity Patients

    In Florida, many patients entering a hospice facility require intensive symptom management and critical-care-level services. Freestanding and hospital-based hospice centers can provide that care in a serene, comfort-focused environment that remains welcoming to family and visitors.

  • Family-Friendly and Flexible

    Hospice care is about supporting loved ones as well as patients. A family-friendly inpatient hospice facility can accommodate overnight guests and provide welcoming spaces for gathering, sharing a meal, or spending quiet time together. Flexible private areas also offer room for meaningful conversations, reflection, and emotional support.

  • Cares for the Caregivers

    An inpatient hospice facility should support caregivers as thoughtfully as it supports patients and families. Efficient layouts, accessible storage, and carefully designed workspaces help staff provide exceptional care, while calming colors, natural light, and quiet surroundings promote well-being and resilience.

  • Respects the Power of Nature

    In Florida, hospice facilities must embrace nature while preparing for its challenges. Access to daylight, gardens, and restorative outdoor views can enhance comfort and spiritual well-being, while resilient structures, backup power, and shelter-in-place capabilities help ensure uninterrupted care during severe weather.
