We are a team of compassionate professionals with a desire to serve our community
We bring hospice care to you in the comfort of your own home- whether you live alone, in an assisted living or nursing home!
We make education and bereavement support available to everyone in our community
Hospice isn’t a place… it’s a philosophy of care. Hospice care is comfort care so that patients may live their last days as pain-free and comfortable as possible. The hospice philosophy of care is focused on managing symptoms so that a person’s last days may be spent with dignity and quality as they are surrounded by their loved ones.
At the heart of Del Corazon Hospice is the belief that it is the patient and not the disease that deserves attention, and so the focus of our care is to ease suffering through managing pain and minimizing disease-related symptoms. Comfort care enhances the quality of life allowing one to enjoy each day to the fullest. And hospice care is delivered to patients in their home, in a long-term care facility, a retirement community, or in an assisted living environment.
Hospice helps people live life to the fullest! Call to speak to a registered nurse, for free. Whether you are looking for counsel or support, reach out to us and educate yourself on the options available to you!
We offer free bereavement counseling for an unlimited amount of time to anyone in our community, regardless of whether you received hospice services from us or not.
Volunteers are the heart of Del Corazon Hospice for the volunteer brings the gift of companionship to our patients and offers support to the patient’s loved ones. Learn how you can make a difference.
So many of you have written us Thank You cards, letters and sent us newspaper clippings with your gratitude. We can’t feature all of you, but from our heart to yours – Thank You.
Hospice is a specialized way to provide dignified and compassionate end-of-life care to people with a terminal illness. A doctor can order hospice care if they believe that a patient has six months or less to live if their illness follows its expected course. Caring for a loved one with an end-of-life illness can be…

Hospice care is most commonly associated with immediate end-of-life care, where patients are provided support with only a few days or hours left until their passing. Hospice care isn’t exclusively for those who have a few days left to live. To qualify for hospice care, patients must be experiencing a terminal illness, but families may…

If you or a loved one is experiencing a terminal illness, finding the best care option is an important way to find comfort and support. Two common care options are palliative care and hospice care.

Thank you, Amber, for your lovely story about your grandmother. We’ll always have her in our hearts.
My grandma, Vicenta Martinez was born March 10, 1911 and was the most caring and amazing person I have ever known. She was loving, wise, practical and taught me how to cook and bake. She loved politics and we would watch the Santa Fe City Council Meetings together as my husband, Ron served as a City Councilor. She had a special relationship with each of her kids and each of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She welcomed everyone into her home and always had something great to eat, which she insisted you have 'just a little bit of'.
As she aged, she went on hospice three times, graduating two of those times as her condition improved. She passed away on June 11, 2013, at the age of 102 while on Del Corazon Hospice. Having her on hospice gave our family more time for genuine moments with my Grandma. They took care of her medical needs and we did not have to worry about taking her to doctors' appointments. Whenever I post a picture or anniversary of either of my grandparents, several of her old nurses write back to say how they lovingly think of her all the time. ... See MoreSee Less
