Asking is not signing anything
A conversation can help you understand what is happening, what options are available, and what support may be helpful.
Someone to sit beside you and help you find peace.
Treasure Coast Hospice provides spiritual and emotional support to patients and families across Martin, St. Lucie, and Okeechobee counties — shaped entirely by each person's own beliefs, values, and wishes, whatever those may be.
You do not have to know if it is time before you call
Hospice care supports people with advanced illness when comfort, quality of life, and time with family become the priority. Choosing hospice is not giving up. It is a specialized benefit that brings pain management, symptom relief, emotional support, spiritual care, and practical guidance to the patient and family.
The plan is personal
Care is guided by the patient's goals, faith, family structure, culture, and definition of comfort.
Rooted in the Treasure Coast
As a community-based not-for-profit, Treasure Coast Hospice cares for local families regardless of ability to pay.
Expert care brought directly to you
Most hospice care is provided wherever the patient lives. When symptoms require short-term intensive management, Treasure Coast Hospice also offers dedicated inpatient settings close to home.
Private Homes
Clinical visits, medications, equipment coordination, caregiver teaching, and emotional support are brought into the familiar setting of home.
Assisted Living and Nursing Facilities
Our team partners with assisted living residences and nursing facilities to add specialized hospice support around the patient and their caregivers.
Dedicated Inpatient Units
The Hay-Madeira and Harper Inpatient Units in Stuart and The Lynch Pavilion in Fort Pierce provide short-term care for acute symptoms that cannot be managed at home.

Spiritual Care Coordinators (Chaplains)
Graduate-trained coordinators with Clinical Pastoral Education in healthcare. They provide one-on-one visits, family support, interdisciplinary team participation, and coordination with community clergy.
Bereavement counselors
Grief counselors at the Thomas Counseling Center who continue spiritual and emotional support for families after a loss, through individual sessions and group programs.
Medical social workers
Work alongside our spiritual care coordinators to support the emotional, practical, and relational needs of patients and families throughout the care journey.
What to expect
Every visit meets you exactly where you are.
There is no script. Our Spiritual Care Coordinators meet patients and families where they are — in grief, in fear, in reflection, or simply in need of company — and respond to what is actually present in the room.
01Presence and listening
Sometimes the most meaningful thing is not being alone.
Our team sits with patients and families — quiet, present, and without an agenda.
This is often what families remember most after a loss.02Life review and legacy
Reflecting on a life well lived.
Our team helps patients find meaning in their story and consider what they want to leave behind for the people they love.
This often includes conversations about relationships, purpose, and what the patient hopes their family will carry forward.03Faith-specific support
Prayer, scripture, ritual, music — if that is what you need.
Our spiritual care coordinators participate in religious practices fully and respectfully, and can coordinate directly with the patient's own clergy.
Your spiritual care coordinator can reach out to your community of faith directly if you would like them present.04Emotional reconciliation
Helping families find words they have not been able to say.
Our team makes space for the conversations that matter most: forgiveness, gratitude, and things that have gone unspoken.
Families often describe these moments as among the most important of the entire hospice journey.05Support for family members and caregivers
Grief does not wait for the loss to happen.
Our team also supports family members and caregivers carrying anticipatory grief, exhaustion, or their own spiritual questions.
Bereavement support through the Thomas Counseling Center continues after a loss for as long as families need it.
A legacy rooted in the belief that spiritual care belongs at the center of hospice.
Kristen Grandon, Lead Spiritual Care Coordinator, Treasure Coast HospiceWe are people here who genuinely care about what we do. It is not just a job. When we walk through your door, we want you to feel that.
Spiritual care is built into every care plan.
Every patient enrolled in Treasure Coast Hospice has access to spiritual care from day one. There is nothing extra to request or sign up for. If you are already enrolled and want to connect with our team sooner or more often, you can request that through your hospice nurse or social worker at any time. Family members can also request support directly.
Call or ask your care team
If your loved one is enrolled in Treasure Coast Hospice, ask your nurse or social worker about scheduling a spiritual care visit. You can also call 772-403-4500 directly.
Share what you are looking for
There is no wrong answer. Tell our team what you or your loved one is experiencing, what you believe, or simply that you are not sure where to start.
Begin at your own pace
A visit is not a commitment to ongoing sessions. Some families want regular visits. Others want a single conversation. Both are fine.
Welcome ongoing support
If you find the visits helpful, your coordinator will continue to come as part of the regular care schedule. Support adjusts as the patient's needs and the family's needs change.
Stay connected after the loss
The Thomas Counseling Center provides bereavement support to families after a loss, and our team can remain a point of connection through that transition.
Spiritual care woven into everything we offer.
At Treasure Coast Hospice, spiritual care is not a standalone service. It connects directly to programs across the organization that address the emotional and relational needs of patients and families.
Hospice Care
