We're Matt and Marie Kopmeyer. Bluebird Hospice is our family's company—not a private-equity holding or a branch of a national chain. Because we are locally owned and operated, we do things differently, putting our focus entirely on the people we serve and the incredible team providing that care. When you call us, you reach a dedicated, compassionate local team who knows your loved one, alongside the actual nurses who will be there for you in person.
Hospice in the place your loved one knows best. Our nurses, aides, chaplains, social workers, and volunteers come to you on a consistent schedule. For everything in between, you have 24/7 access to a nurse—ready to answer your call, give guidance over the phone, or come directly to your home for a visit, day or night.
Learn about in-home hospice
Hospice care that integrates seamlessly with your loved one's assisted living, memory care, or skilled nursing team. Working hand-in-hand with facility staff should be the industry standard, but too often, it falls short. At Bluebird, this is where we excel. Through clear, ongoing communication, we provide a coordinated, extra layer of support. Simply put: we are there to support the team and care for your loved one.
Learn about facility-based care
Comfort-focused care for serious illness, available alongside ongoing treatments. Too often, families need more help than they're getting, but they either don't qualify for hospice yet or just aren't ready to take that step. We bridge that gap. We provide a dedicated team to call, lean on, and help you navigate the journey well before you are ready for hospice.
Learn about palliative careThe most common thing we hear is, 'We waited too long.' If you are reading this right now wondering what to do next, it is time to have a conversation. Calling doesn't commit you to anything. It simply connects you directly to a Bluebird nurse, available 24/7, so you can ask your questions and get the information you need.
Is It Time for Hospice?
Hospice has been consolidating for a decade. Most of the names you'll see on Google searches in Michigan now belong to national chains backed by investors who've never met a patient.
Not all hospice companies are the same. We built Bluebird the better way. Instead of focusing on profits and quotas, our focus is completely on your loved one. We hire dedicated nurses who plan to stay. Because we love this community and are deeply invested in the people here, we treat your family like our own. If you need anything, you speak directly to us—your neighbors—not a corporate office in another state.
We serve 41 communities across Oakland, Lapeer, Macomb, and Genesee Counties — anywhere a Bluebird nurse can reach within an hour of your call.

"Bluebird Hospice was wonderful from the nurses, to the social worker, pastor, office staff! Anytime my mom had an issue, a fall, medication change, irritability, etc, they called to let me know. I felt comfortable calling them also with any questions or concerns. It was comfortable knowing how quickly they responded to questions or incidents. They took the time to get to know my mom personally. They are the best!"
As your first points of contact, these are the people who ensure that promise becomes a reality. Whether they are overseeing clinical care or connecting with our community, they are here to answer your questions and guide your family forward.
We like the reading from Bluebird
You need a hospice you can reach at 9pm on a Sunday. One that takes the admission the same day. One that calls you back with an update instead of making you chase one.
That's the hospice we built.
No pressure. No commitment. Just a conversation with a nurse who can answer your questions and help you figure out the next step. During business hours, a Bluebird nurse answers; after hours and weekends, the on-call nurse returns your call within minutes.
