The Gosnell Memorial Hospice House was primarily constructed to provide care based on either patient-specific or caregiver issues.

• When the patient’s physical condition must be closely monitored for:
  • pain
  • other physical symptoms
  • other psychological crisis
    
    
• When the family support system suddenly changes so that patient care can no longer be managed at home, or when the patient’s environment is unsafe.

Our house becomes home for terminally ill patients in need of expert comfort care as their illness progresses during their final 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 seasoned 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.

It is a place to savor a breath of fresh air.

It is a place for family and friends to gather.

It is a place to meditate in the garden.

It is a place for support and companionship.
