Hospice Care in Lathrup Village, Michigan.
Most hospice providers serving this area are headquartered somewhere else. A regional office in Southfield, a main campus in Detroit, a national organization with a Michigan branch. When you call at 2 a.m. — and in hospice, those calls happen — you're routing through a system.
St. Marie's Hospice is different in one specific way: we're based here. Our office is at 18211 W. 12 Mile Road, Suite 2SE, right in Lathrup Village. Our clinical team, our intake coordinators, the nurses who take overnight calls — they work from this address. For families in Lathrup Village, that means something real: faster response, genuine familiarity with the neighborhood, and the particular accountability that comes from being a neighbor, not a vendor.
Hospice Care Where You Live
Wherever your loved one lives, we come to them.
Lathrup Village is a residential community — quiet streets, established homes, multigenerational families. Many of the people we care for here are older adults living independently or with an adult child who has stepped in as the primary caregiver. Some are in assisted living communities nearby. Some are in skilled nursing facilities along the 12 Mile Road corridor.
Wherever your loved one lives, we come to them. Hospice care at St. Marie's is home-based by design — the patient stays in the environment they know, and our team builds its visits, its rhythms, and its care plan around that environment. There's no transfer to a facility required to receive full hospice care.
In practical terms, that means a nurse at your door within 24 hours of the first call, equipment delivered the same week, and the same core team — not a rotating cast — throughout the course of care.

Equipment delivered the same week, and the same core team — not a rotating cast — throughout the course of care. No transfer to a facility required to receive full hospice care.
The first call is a conversation — not a commitment.
The first call is the one most families dread making. They're not sure if it's "time." They're worried about what hospice means for treatment. They're wondering if making the call commits them to something they can't undo.
It doesn't. The first call is a conversation — usually with one of our intake coordinators — about where things are clinically, what's happening at home, and whether hospice might be appropriate. If it is, we schedule an in-home evaluation at no charge. If it isn't — if the timing isn't right or if a different level of care is more appropriate right now — we tell you that and point you toward what is.
What usually happens after the evaluation: families say they wish they’d called sooner. Not because we told them to — because they experience the difference between managing alone and having a full team behind them, and the contrast is immediate.
Every patient enrolled with St. Marie's receives care from a full interdisciplinary team.
A common issue families run into with larger hospice organizations: the aide who comes Monday isn’t the same person who comes Thursday. For patients with dementia or cognitive impairment especially, that rotation is unsettling. We work to provide consistent team members because continuity isn’t a courtesy — it’s clinical.
