Hospice care is specialized end-of-life care delivered by a licensed hospice agency, usually including a nurse, doctor, chaplain, and social worker. Kelsey Creek Senior Care is not a hospice agency. We are a licensed adult family home (DSHS #218200) in Bellevue, WA, and we work directly with outside licensed hospice providers who come into our home to care for residents who need it. This means your loved one can stay in the same familiar home, with the same caregivers, while receiving hospice services from a licensed hospice team.

Testimonial
What Is Hospice Care?
Hospice care focuses on comfort, not cure. It’s typically recommended when a patient has a life expectancy of six months or less and treatment is shifting from curing an illness to easing pain and improving quality of life. A licensed hospice team usually includes a physician, registered nurses, chaplains, social workers, and home health aides, all coordinating care around the patient.
How Hospice Works at Kelsey Creek Senior Care
We are licensed as an adult family home, not a hospice agency, so we don’t provide hospice care ourselves. What we do is welcome hospice patients into our home and work closely with the outside licensed hospice team caring for them.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
- Your loved one continues living in our home, in a familiar room, with familiar caregivers
- A licensed hospice agency of your choice sends nurses, aides, and other staff to provide hospice services on-site
- Our caregivers support day-to-day comfort, help with daily activities, and coordinate closely with the hospice team
- Families can visit anytime and stay closely involved
