A place of peace
When the end draws near, we are here.
We are opening soon!
The Owatonna Homestead for Hospice home is opening in 2025 with the help of a dedicated board and generous donations. Without a local hospice location, the closest option for families has been Rochester, MN. We wanted a place of peace for local individuals.
The 8-room home will open in 2025 with a partnership with Seasons Hospice. While Seasons Hospice will take care of the needs of the people, Owatonna Homestead for Hospice will continue to take care of the home, the outdoor space, utilities and more to continue to provide a community home for those in their final stages of life. We kindly ask that you donate to allow us to keep the home open for generations to come.
Homestead Hospice House continues to rely on community support to ensure the sustainability of this vital resource.
Did you know.....
In Minnesota, there are 2 ways someone can receive care:
-
Services can be provided in someone’s home, whether it's their residence, a nursing home, group home, or “wherever that person calls home"
-
Another option is the residential hospice house with 24 hour care.
Insurance doesn’t pay the full cost for care in a residential hospice setting, so it requires community support to run.
Medicare does not pay for patients to stay in residential hospice houses, so they do not have a funding source outside of private room and board, and private room and board doesn’t cover all of the expenses
The scope of care provided by hospice services it not only to the patient but to the family, in supporting them through that very sacred time is critical in their ability to cope and grieve healthy and to return to the community as healthy people.
