When serious illness enters a life, so does uncertainty. At UpliftedCare, we believe that during life’s most challenging chapters, comfort, expertise, and support should never be out of reach—and that starts with knowing the people providing the care are on staff and local.
We’re proud to say that UpliftedCare is a team deeply rooted in the community it serves. With 174 dedicated professionals and volunteers, we’re more than a care provider—we’re your neighbors, friends, and supporters. And as the only not-for-profit hospice in the region, we’re committed to Redefining Hospice Care by delivering expert, personalized support that puts people—not profits—first.

Nonprofit. Community-Focused. Patient-Centered.
Founded in 1982, UpliftedCare has been the area’s only not-for-profit hospice provider, investing in this community and beyond for over four decades. The dedicated staff has been providing expert, timely care to our patients and families throughout our six-county service area during a time when they need it the most. Our entire team understands the holistic and sometimes complex needs our patients and families face while navigating a serious illness and realize that when situations arise – timing matters.
From expert clinical support to grief counseling and complementary therapies like massage, music, and pet therapy, our holistic approach meets patients and families where they are—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
This is how we’re Redefining Hospice Care—by combining local heart, clinical excellence, and round-the-clock access in a way that truly makes a difference.

More Time, More Memories: Our Care Helps Families Stay Together Longer.
Each year, over 100 of our patients benefit from early hospice care, extending their time with family and loved ones by six months or more.
Hospice Care
When that time comes, hospice is there every step of the way with the patient and family as they focus on comfort at the end of life.
Palliative Care
Palliative care is a chance for people dealing with life-limiting illness to have relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of dealing with the illness and to have an extra layer of support.
Care Where You Are
Most patients receive hospice care in a private home. Yet did you know that UpliftedCare also provides care to those living in a nursing home, hospital or assisted living?
Complementary Therapies
Support services such as massage, respiratory therapy, music, and pet therapy can play a significant role in enhancing quality of life for those who are ill. From easing discomfort to evoking fond memories, these therapies can heal the body and lift the spirit.
