For a long time, the Hampton Roads region was without a single freestanding Hospice House, but this year, that changed as the Dozoretz Hospice House of Hampton Roads officially opened its doors. Now fully accredited, it welcomed its patient Thursday. “There are people in the community that saw that there was a need for a Hospice House in Hampton Roads, and they were surprised that we didn’t have one,” said Veronica Crenshaw, senior vice president of health and innovation at Westminster-Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay and Hospice House of Hampton Roads executive director. ... “The family doesn’t have to worry about being the care provider,” she said. “They can worry about being the wife, the husband the family.” The 12-room house gives patients a place to relax. For families, there are four fully equipped suites to stay with their loved ones.
