The short answer is YES!
Let me explain how travel works while on Hospice with UpliftedCare.
Hospice care is often misunderstood. Many people assume hospice is a place—or that choosing hospice means you can no longer leave your home. In reality, the philosophy of hospice care is quite the opposite.
Hospice meets patients wherever they call home—whether that’s a private residence, a family member’s house, or an assisted or skilled nursing facility. Care is designed to support life, not restrict it.
Sometimes, those wishes need to be adapted based on a patient’s condition—but that doesn’t mean they’re out of reach. It might look like helping a patient attend a wedding through a video call, or arranging safe transportation so they can sit along the sidelines of a ballgame.
And in many cases, travel itself is absolutely possible.
If the beach is calling, UpliftedCare works closely with hospice providers across the country to help make that trip a reality. Through hospice travel coordination, our team handles the details—partnering with a hospice near the destination to ensure a seamless continuation of care.
Medications and medical equipment can be delivered directly to a hotel or vacation rental. Skilled hospice professionals are available for visits, ensuring patients receive the same level of comfort and support they rely on at home—while creating meaningful memories in a place they love.
At UpliftedCare, one of the first conversations we have with patients and their families begins with a simple but powerful question:
“What are your goals?”
From there, we create an individualized plan of care that keeps those goals at the center of everything we do.
Often, those goals are deeply meaningful. Patients might share, “My granddaughter is getting married out of state in a few months—I’d love to be there,” or “I want to make it to my grandson’s baseball game,” or even, “I’d love one more trip to our favorite beach in Florida.”
Too often, people wait to elect hospice care because they believe it means “the end.” In truth, choosing hospice earlier can provide more comfort, more support, and more opportunities to experience moments that matter.
When facing a serious illness, time is precious. Hospice isn’t about giving up—it’s about making the most of every day.
