St. Catherine Hospital Home Care Services meets the Hospice and Home Health care needs of patients and their families in our community as well as rural southwest Kansas. Our service is an extension of a physician’s continuing care for patients. We work under the direction of each patient’s physician to provide services that allow independence and dignity.

Our DME/Home Health Store provides a wide variety of medical equipment to all types of patients. Our products include such necessities as hospital beds, patient lifts, bath and shower equipment, walkers, canes, crutches and wheelchairs. We also provide oxygen and respiratory therapy equipment and supplies as well as instruction on proper product use. Our equipment is delivered directly to your home by our professional staff who will provide instruction on the use of your equipment. We are a JCAHO accredited provider and Medicare certified. We look forward to meeting your needs and exceeding your expectations with our quality services.

Considered to be the model for quality, compassionate care for people facing a life-limiting illness or injury, hospice involves a team-oriented approach to expert medical care, pain management, and emotional and spiritual support expressly tailored to the patient's needs and wishes. Support is provided to the patient' s loved ones as well. At the center of hospice care is the belief that each of us has the right to die pain-free and with dignity, and that our families will receive the necessary support to allow us to do so.

Hospice focuses on caring, not curing and, in most cases, care is provided in the patient's home. Hospice services are available to patients of any age, religion, race, or illness. Hospice care is covered under Medicare, Medicaid, most private insurance plans, HMOs, and other managed care organizations.
