The Care Team

Our family-centered approach ensures that patients and their loved ones can fully participate with the Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Litchfield County’s team to develop their plan of care so that they can focus on what is most important to them.

  • Experienced and caring registered nurses
  • Certified hospice and palliative care social worker

  • Hospice aides
  • Pharmacist
