In Home Care Butte, MT
Hospice and palliative care focus on relief, dignity, and goals that matter to each person. Our in-home hospice services bring a clinical team to the bedside for pain and symptom control, medication reconciliation, wound and skin care, oxygen and equipment education, and counseling for patients and families. We also coordinate hospice care with home health during appropriate transitions, helping families understand what each service covers and how to move smoothly from one to the other.
Many Montanans receive care in different settings, and we meet you wherever you reside. Headwaters provides hospice care in assisted living facilities, hospice care in nursing homes, hospice care in senior living centers, and hospice care in nursing facilities, working closely with on-site staff to keep care plans consistent. We also deliver hospice services for assisted living residents who want a familiar apartment and supportive staff while receiving medical visits focused on comfort.
Clinical needs change, so your plan adapts. Nurses assess pain, shortness of breath, nausea, anxiety, and sleep difficulties, then coordinate with our medical director for medication adjustments. Social workers help with resources and advance care documents, chaplains offer spiritual support when requested, and bereavement services remain available for loved ones after a death. For veterans, we provide specialized hospice care for veterans that honors service history and addresses military-specific health concerns with sensitivity.
Communication is clear and practical. You will know who is visiting, what to expect, and how to reach us after hours. If a patient resides in a facility, we coordinate with administrators and nursing leads so hospice care in assisted living facilities and hospice care in nursing homes fits smoothly with daily routines. If the person remains at home, our clinicians help organize a safe space for medical equipment and teach family caregivers simple, medical tasks like medication timing, positioning for comfort, and signs that call for a nurse visit.
Quality of life guides every decision. Comfort care does not mean doing less; it means focusing on what matters most with professional support. Whether your goals include sitting on the porch without breathlessness, attending a family gathering with good symptom control, or sleeping through the night with fewer interruptions, our Butte In home care team builds a plan to support those outcomes. Throughout, we provide supportive education so families can recognize changes and feel prepared.

“These guys are awesome. My grandma was in the hospital we knew she was going to need to go to a facility after the hospital so she could get rehabilitation to go back home. She was refusing to go anywhere until Jamie from Headwaters showed up and then she got her to agree to go and then Jamie was able to set up all of her care for when she returned to her home. The nurses and doctors are all great as well. Jamie has answered all of our questions and made the process super easy. It’s great knowing that my grandma can go back to her house and still live on her own knowing that she will have help.” – Machelle Leprowse
