Compass Hospice

Since 1985, Compass has been allowing patients to spend their final months the way they choose, guiding loved ones after a life-limiting diagnosis, and showing individuals healthy ways to manage their grief. Today, the organization is a regional provider of hospice care, supportive care, and grief services in Caroline, Kent, and Queen Anne’s counties. Whether serving their patients in private residences, skilled nursing facilities, or Compass’ residential center in Centreville, staff and volunteers are guided by their mission to ensure that individuals facing end of life can live out their days in a full and meaningful way. Compass provides a collection of grief support programs and services for the families of patients, as well as members of the community, who are grieving the death of a loved one. These services have a common focus— rekindling hope and facilitating healing. This includes support groups, one-on-one counseling, in-school support, and more. All grief support services are free of charge and funded by donations from our supporters. Compass is a fully licensed, independent, community-based nonprofit organization certified by Medicare and the state of Maryland and accredited by the Community Health Accreditation Partner (CHAP). We are also affiliated with the Palliative Care Organization and the Hospice & Palliative Care Network of Maryland.
