A Comforting, Homelike Atmosphere
Our house becomes home for terminally ill patients in need of expert comfort care as their illness progresses during their final days or weeks of life and their own home is no longer an option. The Gosnell Memorial Hospice House is not a hospital, a nursing home or a rehabilitation facility. We are a comfortable home-like setting where hospice nurses and support staff provide 24-hour care and where family and friends can spend quality time with their loved one.Surrounded by gardens in a wooded neighborhood of Scarborough, Maine our 18 bed residence is designed and staffed to emphasize privacy, dignity, and inclusion of family members for the provision of end of life care.
