Senior Home Health Care Butte, MT
Our senior-focused hospice and palliative approach brings a physician-led team to address pain, dyspnea, agitation, constipation, appetite changes, and sleep issues. Nurses perform focused assessments, reconcile medications, and teach families how to administer comfort therapies safely. Social workers guide advanced directives and community resources. Chaplains and bereavement counselors are available when requested, providing supportive conversations that respect beliefs and values. We also coordinate hospice care with home health by helping families understand timing and transitions, keeping attention on comfort care and practical goals.
Care settings vary, and we support seniors across them. We provide hospice care in assisted living facilities and hospice services for assisted living residents who benefit from clinical visits without leaving a familiar environment. We coordinate hospice care in nursing homes and hospice care in nursing facilities by aligning orders, MARs, and equipment needs with facility teams. For elders living in independent apartments, we bring hospice care in senior living centers that integrate with on-site wellness programs and staff communication.
For veterans and their families, we tailor hospice care for veterans with an understanding of service-related health concerns and the importance of honoring personal history. Our veteran-owned team recognizes the unique needs that can arise near the end of life and responds with respect and timely support.
Families need clarity. We explain who visits and why, what after-hours support looks like, and how to reach a nurse when symptoms change. Equipment is ordered promptly and placed thoughtfully so movement remains safe. Education is practical and brief, covering medication schedules, nonpharmacologic strategies like positioning and relaxation, and what to watch for between visits. When a patient resides in a facility, we keep communication flowing with administrators and charge nurses to avoid duplication and delays.
Quality matters. Our Butte senior home health care clinicians follow evidence-based pathways for common hospice conditions and review plans regularly with the medical director. If goals shift, we revise quickly and document changes, so everyone stays aligned. Comfort does not mean absence of care; it means the right care with the gentlest footprint possible.

”We lost my dad a year ago. My mom chose to not make any rash decisions and stayed in Montana while all her kids were in the San Francisco Bay area. The care that Headwaters’ Melinda provided to she, my dad, and our family was so special and we are forever grateful. We moved mom down with us in August when she was finally ready. Your follow up care was so important even though mom was distant. It helped us keep an extra pair of eyes on her. She keeps your candle on her dresser with other memories of a fantastic man. Thank you for everything. You helped my dad die with grace, dignity, and less pain and suffering.” – Denise Downs
