Hospice Care in Clinton Township, Michigan
Compassionate, home-based end-of-life care for families throughout Macomb County’s largest township.
When a family in Clinton Township starts considering hospice, it's rarely a calm decision made in advance. It usually follows a hard hospital stay, a doctor's difficult conversation, or the slow, unmistakable realization that a loved one isn't getting better. At that point, what a family needs most is straight answers — not a sales pitch.
St. Marie's Hospice serves families throughout Clinton Township and the surrounding Macomb County communities with Medicare-certified, CHAP-accredited hospice care delivered wherever your loved one lives. We're a local Michigan hospice, not a national chain routing your call through a regional office — and Macomb County families are part of the community we serve every week.
Home-Based Hospice Care in Clinton Township
Clinton Township is one of the largest townships in Michigan by population — home to roughly 100,000 residents, bordered by Sterling Heights, Mount Clemens, Harrison Township, and Fraser. It’s a large, established community with a significant older-adult population, and families here consistently want the same thing when serious illness arrives: to keep their loved one at home, comfortable, and surrounded by what’s familiar.
That’s exactly what hospice at St. Marie’s is built to provide. Care comes to the patient — in a home near the Partridge Creek area, in a house off Groesbeck or Garfield, in a senior community, or in a skilled nursing facility. Wherever your loved one lives, the full hospice team comes to them. There’s no requirement to transfer a patient to a facility to receive complete hospice care.
In practical terms, that means a nurse at the door within 24 hours of your first call, equipment delivered the same week, and a consistent care team your family comes to recognize — not a rotating set of unfamiliar faces.
What the First Call Involves
Most families wait longer than they should before calling, usually out of fear about what it means. There's a common worry that reaching out to a hospice locks you into something irreversible, or signals that you've given up. Neither is true.
The first call is simply a conversation. One of our intake coordinators talks through what's happening — the diagnosis, how things have been changing at home, what the physicians have said. If hospice seems appropriate, we schedule a free in-home evaluation. If it isn't the right moment yet, we'll say so honestly and point you toward the support that fits where your loved one is right now.
What usually happens after a family finally makes that call: relief. Nothing has been decided or locked in — but for the first time in a while, they're not managing it entirely on their own.
The Care Team That Comes to You
Conditions We Care For
We provide hospice care for advanced and terminal stages of cancer, heart failure, COPD, dementia and Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, stroke, kidney and liver disease, ALS, and other serious illnesses. The full list is on our conditions page.
Eligibility depends on the stage of illness, not the diagnosis itself. If you're unsure whether your loved one qualifies — especially with a condition like dementia, where the criteria are less obvious — a free in-home evaluation answers the question, with no obligation either way.
Medicare-Certified, CHAP-Accredited, and Local
St. Marie’s has been Medicare-certified since 2015 and holds voluntary accreditation through the Community Health Accreditation Partner (CHAP) — a standard beyond federal minimums. Our quality scores are publicly reported through Medicare’s Care Compare tool, so Clinton Township families can verify our record independently rather than take our word for it.
If you’re weighing more than one provider, our guide on how to compare hospice providers walks through what actually matters — the metrics and questions worth bringing to any hospice serving Macomb County.
Understanding What's Covered
Families often have questions about cost before they call. The Medicare Hospice Benefit covers the large majority of hospice care at no out-of-pocket cost for eligible patients — and it’s worth understanding both what’s covered and where the gaps are before you need the answer urgently. We’re always glad to walk through the specifics for your situation directly.
