IN-HOME CARE
Our goal at Casa de la Luz Hospice is to allow those dealing with a terminal illness to remain in their own homes. While most patients prefer to stay in their own homes, we also care for patients in nursing homes or assisted living facilities, as well as at our free-standing inpatient unit or at our residential hospice home, Kanmar Place. Because we have the flexibility of providing care in any setting, adjustments in arrangements can be made throughout the course of each patient's illness, if needed.

CASA'S HOSPICE HOME
Casa de la Luz provides Tucson's only residential hospice home, Kanmar Place, where quality of life is ensured in a comfortable, home-like setting. Here, a specially trained hospice team offers physical, emotional and spiritual support to residents and their families.

CASA'S INPATIENT UNIT (IPU)
The inpatient facility offers short-term comfort care for hospice patients in need of intensive symptom management. The IPU also offers a welcoming, home-like, and supportive environment for hospice patients, their families, and friends.


"Casa de la Luz" is Spanish for "house of light." That's what one needs when facing an end-stage illness ― a house of light, to provide comfort, support, and experienced hospice care to you or your loved one during the end-of-life journey. When the final months of life approach, most people agree that they want to be at home, treated with respect, free of pain, have personal wishes upheld, and to be remembered. Casa strives to accomplish all this for every patient... because every day counts. Founded in 1998 by two Tucsonan women, Lynette Jaramillo and Agnes Poore, RN, Casa de la Luz Hospice has become a leading provider of superior hospice care to terminally ill patients and their families throughout Tucson and Southern Arizona.

Casa is here to help you or your loved one manage the final stages of a terminal illness. The Medicare Hospice Benefit defines 'terminal' as having a life expectancy of six months or less, if the disease runs its expected course. Hospice costs are fully covered by the Medicare Hospice Benefit and most insurance plans.
