Our Affiliated Hospice Partner
Agape Hospice NW
At Helping Hands for Seniors, we specialize in guiding families through the full spectrum of elderly care options in Oregon and beyond—from assisted living and memory care to adult foster homes and independent living. Many of the seniors we assist are also facing advanced illness or end-of-life needs, making hospice care an important consideration.
We are proudly affiliated with Agape Hospice NW (agapehospicenw.org), a Medicare-certified, Joint Commission-accredited hospice provider serving the Portland metro area, Salem, and surrounding communities.
Agape Hospice NW stands out for its commitment to exceptional, compassionate end-of-life care. Their experienced interdisciplinary team—including nurses, physicians, social workers, chaplains, and certified nursing assistants—creates highly personalized care plans focused on comfort, dignity, pain management, emotional support, and family guidance. With 24/7 availability, bereavement resources, and a true heart-centered approach, Agape has earned a reputation for delivering the highest quality care that allows patients to live their remaining time as fully and peacefully as possible.
In accordance with Medicare regulations, hospitals and long-term care facilities are required to offer patients and families multiple choices when selecting a hospice provider—and we fully uphold this standard.
While we believe Agape Hospice NW delivers truly outstanding care, we will always provide information on other qualified hospice options in the area so you can make the decision that feels right for your loved one. We are committed to full transparency, ethical practices, and putting your family’s wellbeing first—no exceptions.
If hospice care may be appropriate for the senior you’re helping place, our team can discuss options, answer questions, and connect you with Agape or other trusted providers. We’re here to make this process easier and more reassuring for you.

Our Expertise in Hospice Care
Hospice care focuses on providing comfort, dignity, and quality of life for individuals with terminal illnesses, typically when curative treatments are no longer pursued. Our advisors at Helping Hands for Seniors are well-versed in hospice options, eligibility criteria, and the benefits available under Medicare and other insurance plans. We assist families in understanding:
- Eligibility Requirements: Under Medicare, hospice care is available if a physician certifies a life expectancy of six months or less, assuming the illness follows its expected course. We can help review your situation to determine if hospice is appropriate.
- Levels of Care: From routine home care in your residence (such as a home, assisted living facility, or nursing home) to continuous care during crises, respite care for family caregivers, and inpatient care when needed.
- Covered Services: Medicare-approved hospice includes nursing, medical equipment, prescription drugs for symptom management, counseling, and more—all aimed at palliative support.
Our goal is to integrate hospice considerations seamlessly into your long-term care planning, ensuring a holistic approach that prioritizes your loved one’s well-being.
