Our Programs
Founded in 1980, Coastal Hospice provides traditional hospice services, counseling and grief support, and community resources to the residents of Maryland’s Lower Eastern Shore. Through all avenues of our work, we strive to fulfill the life goals of each individual we meet.
Pre-Hospice Care
Coastal Hospice helps our patients find comfort, dignity and peace at the end of life. The future may be uncertain, but the end of life can be deeply meaningful and full of love. At Coastal Hospice, our home and residential hospice options put you at the center of care.
