Most people, given the choice, want to be home. In their own bed. In the room they know. Surrounded by the photographs on the walls and the people who matter most.
We bring expert care—including nursing, aides, chaplains, social workers, and compassionate volunteers—right to your door, ensuring your loved one can remain in the place that feels like home, wherever that may be.

Home hospice makes that possible. It brings the full clinical team — nurses, aides, a chaplain, a social worker, a 24/7 nurse line — to your living room instead of asking your family to live at a hospital. The same Medicare benefit, the same care plan, in the place your loved one already feels safe.
There's a practical side, too. Family can come and go as they need to. Grandchildren can visit without nursing-station hours. The daily rhythm your loved one built over a lifetime — the morning coffee, the afternoon nap, the quiet of their own kitchen — doesn't have to end.
Medicare covers all of this. So does most private insurance and Medicaid.
Several scheduled nursing visits per week and a 24/7 emergency RN available
A custom aide care plan will be developed to meet your personal care needs
Available for spiritual support — any faith, or none
To help with planning, paperwork, and family conversations
Hospital bed, oxygen, personal care supplies, and medications related to comfort or the diagnosis — delivered to your door.

You call (248) 264-3704. A Bluebird nurse answers and listens. No script read aloud, no checklist. We ask about what's going on and explain what hospice does and doesn't do. Most first calls take 15 to 30 minutes.
A nurse comes to you, usually the same day or the next. We meet your loved one, talk with the family, and confirm whether hospice is the right fit. No commitment at this visit. It's a conversation.
If hospice is right and the family is ready, we admit. The paperwork takes about an hour. We coordinate with your loved one's existing care team so nothing important gets missed.
Hospital bed, oxygen, medications, and whatever else is needed arrives at your home — usually within hours of admission.
A nurse visits to begin care, set up the medication routine, and answer the questions that always come up once things are real. From here on, you have us 24/7.

A first conversation with a Bluebird nurse takes 15 minutes and commits you to nothing. If hospice is right for your family, we'll help you start. If it isn't, we'll tell you and help you find what is.
