"Casa de la Luz" is Spanish for "house of light."  That's what one needs when facing a terminal illness ― a house of light, to provide comfort, support, and experienced hospice care 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 surrounding communities. 

Casa is here to help 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.

The Casa Team is Quick to Respond:
In the Hospital - We can help patients plan for our hospice service to begin in most any setting.
At Home - We take care of immediate needs first and arrange scheduled visits by our hospice team.
In Crisis - Our expert nursing staff answers phone calls 24 hours a day to ensure that critical situations are controlled.
In a Nursing Home/Assisted Living Center - Our hospice professionals work side by side with current care staff to give specialized attention. We provide all entitled benefits, including medications, equipment, and medical supplies.
In Mourning - Our bereavement team provides up to 13 months of bereavement support to the loved ones and friends left behind.
