About Circle Home
A First in Mid-Hudson Valley
There is no hospice residence, hospital-based hospice unit, or Home for the Dying in Ulster or Dutchess Counties. Circle Home will be the first in the Mid-Hudson Valley.
70% of terminally ill people die in hospitals or nursing homes.
80-90% would choose to die at home, surrounded by loved ones, if that was an option.
Fewer than 25% actually do.
Circle Home will provide a real home and a circle of support.
