This year I had the direct experience of receiving hospice care for a loved one that I was caring for in my home. I have had experiences with two other hospices in the area. Soulistic was there to help immediately and provided thorough service from medications and equipment to appropriate emotional support at a time when all those things were so needed. There were a few months before my loved one passed when the Soulistic team came to visit regularly while there was time to talk and listen to my dear friend. The nurses monitored his symptoms and adjusted things as he came closer to his end of life. They would check in with me also and made sure we both knew what to expect. It was a blessing to have Soulistic services during our time of need. They helped both me and my loved one, and it was so helpful to know that they were there to call on at any time. I highly recommend this company for their ability to help people at a difficult time with heart and professionalism.Cbonzani

I cannot thank you enough. Who knew that suchwonderful, selfless angels existed to care for our sick family members when wedidn't know where to turn.

My mother went on hospice on her 90th birthday and was dropped ten days later by another hospice organization because of her insurance. Soulistic Hospice stepped right in and took extraordinary compassionate, professional, and loving care of my mother until the very end. They were available 24/7, she had regular visits from the nursing staff, the pastor, and the attending physician. I was incredibly impressed by their professionalism, sensitivity, willingness to serve, and truly compassionate loving care. As a psychotherapist for over 30 years in Tucson I will only recommend Soulistic Hospice and the Care Homes they service.Susan W.

My husband was with Soulistic Hospice, in their palliative care program for over 2 years. Both of us were constantly amazed at the care and concern given to both of us. I don't know how I would have made it through those care giving years without them, as I had very painful issues of my own. Whatever equipment or supplies he needed, they provided. The spiritual staff was always available to me either by phone or in person. Each week, he looked forward to his 3 showers, as she was so kind, gentle and sang to him...sometimes Spanish, sometimes English; he didn't care. Twice, he had to go off their weekly care due to emergency hospital stays; but as soon as he was released, they were at the house on the same day, to get him back into the program. The nurses were incredible in keeping a close monitor on him, and me as well; and even followed him to an assisted living home. His nurse went above and beyond in trying to get the home staff to administer his meds correctly. I truly can't imagine getting any better assistance from anyone than with Soulistic Hospice.L.

SOULISTIC Hospice was a bright light that came into my family's life. My mother refused to have anything to do with assisted living and informed me early on that when it came to her long-term care our property was where she was going to finish her days and nowhere else. My mother was the type who declined slowly but surely. It wasn’t drastic until the very end. Our team at SOULISTIC was supportive and hands on every step of the way. They made it very clear to me that their job was to make sure my mother was comfortable and in as little pain as possible. Of course, the last 6 months of a 97-year-old are not easy. Carmen, Bonnie , Christine , Cristina , Gabrielle, Julie and Marj never let us down. I cannot possibly list every person from SOULISTIC who helped my mother on her final journey. There are too many . Fortunately, my mother was a good person. This helped the staff by allowing them to do their job in the most effective way possible. There was a huge amount of respect and kindness coming from every single person involved from the Director of SOULISTIC (Ala'Di) to the people who delivered the meds. I cannot stress enough how important it is to use a non-profit Hospice. This allows the staff to concentrate on the health and well-being of their patients and not on how to make a profit. This philosophy of making the patient comfortable and well cared for was obvious from the beginning to the end. The list of positive experiences goes on and on. There is no doubt in my mind that SOULISTIC Hospice is the number 1 Hospice in Tucson. I cannot think of one negative incident in our time with SOULISTIC. We thank very single person who was involved in my mothers care.Marty S.

If you're in need of hospice, the staff at Soulistic, a nonprofit service, offer their expertise healthcare for the patient, not just to earn a paycheck. My husband passed in March 2023 and came home for the duration of his illness. Soulistic Hospice was at our door the day we got home, with nurses, CNAs, and all the equipment that was needed was delivered the same day. Bedside table, bedside commode, shower chair and medication, then they gave step by step instructions. The staff truly cared with outstanding, professional, certified staff. A 24/7 phone service, and within the hour, a certified nurse is available to help the patient. Even at our door in the middle of the day or night. I can't say enough about Soulistic Hospice. When your family member is at the stage of hospice, call Soulistic Hospice. You will be satisfied. Thank you Soulistic Hospice for all you do. Thank You!!Patricia

Thank you Soulistic Hospice and your team members. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire team at Soulistic Hospice. The very first night my wife, who had ALS, was placed on hospice she had a severe breathing attack. The response to my call for help was almost immediate . First a nurse, then a respiratory therapist with oxygen came to our home. My wife was made very comfortable in a short period of time. I quickly realized that the choice of Soulistic Hospice for my wife’s care was the right choice. Subsequent visits form nurses, therapists and aides at our home were very caring, loving, and dedicated to providing the best care for my wife. This made it much easier to cope with the difficult situation that I was experiencing. The staff was also concerned about my health and welfare and provided me with as much needed information and support as possible . I highly recommend Soulistic Hospice.The Duke

Even at my ripe old age of 83, I knew very little about Hospice, didn’t think I wanted to know much about it, and obviously did not want to be in a position where I needed it. But, as my wife was nearing the end of her battle with cancer, I reached out to friends, relatives, and former users of Hospice for their input and advice. Everything I read, learned, and heard pointed me in the direction of a non-profit.As soon as I contacted Soulistic Hospice in Tubac, all my fears and concerns dissipated, and I knew I had made a perfect choice. Throughout the entire process of life’s fragile ending, my wife and I received nothing but the most professional and loving support and care available . Every facet of service, from nursing, caretaking, and spiritual, were provided with care, promptness, and love. I will be forever indebted to Soulistic Hospice.D. McLean

My mom, Alma, passed 10/1/21. During the time she was under the care of Soulistic Hospice, she was treated with respect and kindness by all. Soulistic paired her up with a Navajo CNA, who was wonderful, and I’m sure my mom appreciated that. Also, the nurses working with her made the efforts to call me when needed, and I appreciated that. The Spiritual Care Coordinator was very kind and called numerous times to pray with her and provide spiritual support. All of these services helped her and me to deal with the end of her life more gracefully and positively. Thank you all. I most definitely recommend Soulistic Hospice services to anyone looking for all-encompassing healthcare for life ending.Yolanda B.

Dear Hospice Staff,I want to convey my deepest gratitude for the exceptional care Soulistic Hospice provided my mother in the period before her passing. The care and love you provided for my mother in her final moments was exceptional. My mother, who greatly appreciated the companionship and care of those around her, constantly spoke of many of you.My mother held a special place in her heart for Marisela, her CNA. She genuinely looked forward to Marisela's visits, and the comfort and joy she brought during those moments were immeasurable. Marisela, your care was a bright spot in my mother's days, and I can't thank you enough for the genuine warmth and attention you showed her.Sylvia, your professionalism and compassion left an indelible mark on my mother's heart. She admired you deeply and always spoke about how fortunate she was to have you by her side. Thank you for being a pillar of strength and solace for her.Lorena, your compassion and understanding were like a soothing balm to my wounded soul. You provided me with a shoulder to lean on, a listening ear, and a comforting presence when I needed it the most. Your kindness and empathy helped me navigate the depths of grief, and I will always remember your unwavering support.Arlene, your compassionate and empathetic approach helped me navigate the complex emotions and decisions that came with my mother's illness and eventual passing. You listened without judgment, provided invaluable advice, and helped me find the resources and support I needed.I also want to express my gratitude to all the RNs who came to visit. Each one of you played a vital role in my mother's care and well-being. You all contributed to making her last months as comfortable and dignified as possible. My mother felt loved and cared for by her entire hospice team, and that meant the world to her and to us, her family.I'd also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Ala’Di. Your compassion and empathy were evident in every word and gesture, and your expertise and experience were invaluable in helping me navigate the complexities of those final hours. Your support not only eased my mother's transition but also provided me with the emotional strength to be there for her until the end.While my mother is no longer with us, I find solace in knowing that she received the best possible care in her final days. Your team's professionalism, compassion, and unwavering support made all the difference. You not only cared for her physical needs but also provided emotional comfort to our entire family.Please accept my sincerest appreciation for your dedication and the exceptional care you gave to my mother. Your kindness during this challenging time will always be remembered, and you will forever hold a special place in our hearts.With heartfelt thanks,Lilliana A. and FamilyLilliana A. and Family

Calle Iglesia Tubac, AZ 85646
Attn: Ms. Goodman,
Thank you to Soulistic Hospice and your team members.
I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the Zepeda Family thanks all of the team at the Soulistic Hospice Program.
On June 2020, my mother in law after being released from the hospital was placed in hospice. From the time that she was placed in hospice, we were informed that her health would begin to deteriorate and that she had between 1 month and 2 years to live. My wife was provided with telephone numbers to several hospice programs whom service the Santa Cruz County area. We were asked to request information from each of the companies to make a decision as to who would help us take care of my mother in law in her finally stages of life. This was an extremely difficult decision to make.
While talking to various people, we were informed that Soulistic Hospice had some very dedicated people working for their program whom provided a higher level of care than any other program in the state of Arizona. Some of the people who provided this information are people who themselves work for both the State of Arizona, people whom loved ones have been cared for by Soulistic Hospice, Doctors in the Santa Cruz County Community, and Doctors/Nurses for the hospital where my mother in law was attended to in Tucson, Arizona. After contacting the different programs and making the difficult decision, my wife chose to contact Soulistic Hospice. From the moment we picked up the phone and spoke to your social worker, we noticed the level of care that your company provides. She was compassionate and very informative about the program and the level of care that the program provided. She explained to my wife and I, how the program worked, what was provided and how the team would care for my mother in law at our home. She explained what to expect and told us that we could pick up the phone at any time and ask for guidance if we had any questions.
When we met your nurses at our home for the first time, both were very caring, loving, and dedicated to providing the best care for my mother in law. Throughout the care of my mother in law, they also showed the level of professionalism and compassion they felt for she and my family. By far they treated my mother in law as if she was their own grandmother, parent, or sibling during this time. Both were exceptional in their care.
When it comes to your CNA, the words that come to mind which best describe her are compassionate, loving, caring, dedicated, and most than anything professional. She took care of my mother in law as if she was her own mother. Her always happy attitude brings out the best person in her and made these difficult times easier. She would always tell us what to expect and is willing to help and take exceptional care of her patients.
There were times that both your nurse and CNA would call on their days off just to ask how my mother in law was doing or if we needed anything. They were always interested in knowing how she had awoken and if she was doing well. Not only were they concerned about her but they too were concerned about how my wife was doing. They would continuously ask her if she needed anything and if she was okay. They would always offer her help if needed.
All of the Soulistic Hospice employees whom cared for my mother and law brought the name of Soulistic Hospice to a higher professional level. The Zepeda family is extremely thankful with your employees and Soulistic Hospice because in these difficult times, you all made it easier to cope with the much difficult times that we were experiencing.
Thank you for everything you did for our family during these times. We now know that we made the best decision by contacting Soulistic Hospice.
Respectfully,
The Zepeda Family

Frequently Asked Questions
Here you'll find answers to the most common questions people ask when considering hospice care.
We welcome all questions about our services, so feel free to contact us at any time.
Click the arrows to view answers.Medicare, AHCCCS (Medicaid), and most private insurance plans cover the cost of hospice care. If you do not have any insurance coverage, we will work with you and your family to ensure you get the services you need. We serve everyone regardless of ability to pay.
Hospice can help to manage the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the patient and family or caregivers and includes routine visits to your home or facility by a physician, Registered Nurse, Certified Nursing Assistant, Social Worker, Chaplain, Bereavement Coordinator, and Volunteers.
Hospice also provides medical equipment as well as incontinent supplies and medications to keep your loved one or patient comfortable. Hospice services are 100% covered by Medicare and most private insurances. Soulistic Hospice is a nonprofit organization and strives to provide quality hospice care regardless of ability to pay.
The federal Medicare Hospice Benefit is covered under Medicare Part A. The Benefit covers virtually all aspects of hospice care with very little, if any, out-of-pocket expenses to the patient or family. Soulistic Hospice is fully certified by Medicare.
Medicare covers these hospice services:
- Hospice physician services
- Nursing care
- Medical equipment (including hospital beds, wheelchairs, and walkers)
- Medical supplies (including briefs, wipes, oxygen, bandages, catheters and much more)
- Medications for managing symptoms and controlling pain
- Home health aide services
- Social workers
- Dietary counseling
- Grief support for patients and families
Eligibility for hospice care is determined by your insurance carrier; for Medicare patients, eligibility begins when your doctor determines you have six months left to live. Because doctors often do not refer patients to hospice care services until mere weeks or days before death, we encourage you to discuss it with your doctor when you are first diagnosed with a life limiting condition. Doing so will help ensure that you receive all the benefits of hospice care for the full period you're eligible.
Hospice care includes an integrative approach and does not replace medical treatment, nor does it hasten or delay the end of life. Our team of professional caregivers includes nurses, doctors, and other medical professionals such as social workers, home health aides, grief counselors, Interfaith ministers, trained volunteers, and more. Together, we meet all of your emotional, medical, spiritual, and physical needs. Soulistic Hospice care is more focused on improving your quality of life, providing comfort-oriented care, and preserving dignity.
