Despite a few hurdles ahead, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel for the community members seeking to reopen the Homestead Hospice House. After a difficult hiatus, the Hospice House is set to resume serving patients thanks to a partnership with Seasons Hospice, of Rochester. The house, which provided a comforting setting for patients in end-of-life care, closed over a year ago when the previous care provider, Allina Health, discontinued its services there, citing labor reductions within its system and a decline in patients requesting that specific service. Seasons signed a lease with the HHH Board earlier this week. While the future of the house is starting to become clear, the organization is still dealing with the ramifications of Allina’s departure.
