In 1993, CNHC went on to establish the first Medicare-certified hospice program in the area to assist patients and their families in the final stages of many types of terminal illness. Then, in 1997, CNHC opened an office dedicated to serving homebound residents with psychiatric nursing needs.

Our highly skilled nurses, therapists, social workers, home health aides and volunteers conducted more than 120,000 home care visits last year throughout southeastern Massachusetts.

Community Nurse and Hospice Care is deeply committed to community health care needs, without regard for an individual's ability to pay. Today, CNHC is recognized as a leader among area home care agencies as an innovator and developer that organizes and spearheads programs to address the needs of our aging population along with the rapidly changing medical needs of your community.
