Who is eligible?
Individuals who are in the final stages of life and would like to receive
skilled nursing care in an alternative, home-like setting.
Who may refer a patient?
Referrals may be provided by a physician or health care professional, clergy,
family member, friend or the person seeking care. To learn more or to make
a referral, call Unity at 920.338.1111 or 800.990.9249.
What is the cost and how is it paid for?
Unity is able to offer room and board at a low cost to our patients. Daily
room and board are covered by a patient's private insurance, private pay and
community support; hospice care services are covered by Medicare, Medicaid and
other funding sources.
What is the difference between Unity's
hospice residence and a hospital or nursing home?
Unity's Residence is a short-term care facility that offers a home-like
environment staffed with end-of-life care specialists. Hospitals provide
an acute medical care setting and do not offer residential care. Nursing
homes generally provide long-term skilled care.
When can loved ones visit?
The Residence welcomes family and friends 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The private patient rooms cater to guest visits and include a fold-out bed to
accommodate overnight stays by a family member. Planned pet visits may
also be arranged. Residence amenities are available for guest use.
