End-of-Life Treatment Plan
You Have A Choice
During the difficult last stages of a serious illness, many patients and families feel that they have lost control over their lives and don't realize that they can regain it by recruiting the help of hospice care and creating a comprehensive end-of-life treatment plan.
At Soulistic Hospice, our patients and their family members are given the assistance they need to feel supported while making decisions that are important to them, including an end-of-life care plan. These kinds of plans can often be difficult to handle on one’s own, but we can be there with you every step of the way to help.
Taking back this control is especially beneficial to patients facing their last year of life. Instead of spending time in and out of the hospital, they can spend it with their family and loved ones in their own home. While a life coming to an end is always sad, we want to help our patients make the process as painless as possible.
Developing an end-of-life treatment plan helps ensure that your wishes are followed and you receive the best in-home end-of-life care until the very end. We can help by documenting your wishes and advocating for them, including:
- Advanced directives, including do-not-resuscitate
- Choosing a funeral home
- Bereavement support for your loved ones
When patients feel heard, supported, and cared for, their conditions often improve and some will be able to return to curative treatment. Whether this happens or not, the relief that many patients feel in knowing that their final requests are acknowledged can be a huge benefit to their physical and mental health.
We take pride in knowing that our end-of-life care plans help our patients feel better prepared to move on from this life, and their families and friends feel better equipped to handle their loss. If patients can live a full-life, even until the end, we believe they can experience joy and find peace, even amidst pain and sorrow.

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

Over the past 5 years I have had three of my loved ones cared for by Soulistic Hospice during their passing. I am so very grateful to all of their caring staff for the quick responses to our needs any time day or night. My loved ones were always kept comfortable, and had their dignity maintained at all times. As the caregiver, I was given education on how to use medications when needed, and how to use the medical equipment they provided. This was so helpful. With the loss of my loved ones, Soulistic has provided me with bereavement support for as long as I need. It has been so wonderful to never feel alone. I would highly recommend Soulistic’s service to anyone needing hospice care.Hana

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

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.

The word Hospice is immediate fear for all ears, but Soulistic Hospice provides the connection of Body and Soul that is so comforting for all. They are professional in all the caring and loving services they provide. The patient is given a sense of peace as well as the loved one caring for the patient. You find the Soul as important as the general medical only approach. They do more than provide care for the patient. They genuinely care for you and the patient. That caring continues after your loved one has passed on. Soulistic Hospice is my only choice when hospice care is needed.J. Hubbard

I received nothing but love and guidance to care for our beautiful patients and their needs. I know that I will call Soulistic whenever I believe that my time is near.Judith B.

The staff at Soulistic were incredible. Bonnie, Camille, Debbie and Jennifer went above and beyond to make sure my mom was comfortable. Their team aided our family in the process of dying from giving us a spiritual counselor to speak with, to giving us the book, “Gone From My Sight: The Dying Experience” by Barbara Karnes, RN, to helping us get an FAA approved oxygen concentrator. They treated my mom as a whole person, acknowledging her own agency and truly caring. I feel our entire healthcare system could benefit from applying the principals and ethics of Soulistic Hospice to the wellness industry. I absolutely recommend this company!Gina

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.

The end of life journey can be very hard and emotional for both patient and family and our family couldn’t have made a better choice with Soulistic. They guided us every step of the way and provided excellent care. I have a new admiration for the hard and caring work these people do!Jennifer T.

A veteran and also a beautiful, spiritual man who had suffered greatly in his early life in Europe during and after WW2. Soulistic Hospice actually found an Assisted Living Facility owned and operated by a Hungarian woman who spoke the language fluently and cooked for him the food of his childhood. The entire team from Soulistic Hospice made his last days comfortable. He was especially blessed by his Spiritual Care Coordinator, who was also a veteran and assisted Karesz to make peace with the many painful memories — and to embrace the next stage of his soul journey with joy.I am forever grateful to Soulistic Hospice for going above and beyond the call of duty in caring for every patient and their families.

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

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

There are no words to express how thankful we are for this company. After years of battling lung cancer, we were given a terminal diagnosis for my mother and were referred to Soulistic Hospice to help care for her. To say that they helped us through her death is not giving justice to what we experienced with them. They were at our home every single day at the end, holding her hand, teaching us what was going on and what to expect next, and helping us to make the right decisions to care for her.

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 is such a wonderful hospice. We recently had to move my mother in law into our home with us, chose Soulistic because we have heard so many wonderful things about them, and I can now attest to this ourselves. They have become our partners in caring for her, and have truly become part of our family. They are available whenever we need their help, and the most wonderful part is that they honestly love their jobs. It is so relieving that they are never too busy for our family, they honestly care about all of us, and we have never once felt rushed. I definitely recommend this special company to anyone needing hospice care, we would never go anywhere else.T. Bolton

This is honestly the best hospice in Tucson. We placed my grandma on hospice, and have no regrets using them. They are always so very kind, caring, and professional; from the nurses, medical social worker, chaplains, to their amazing aides, even the office staff, are all meant to do this. I am amazed at how much they have helped us, with things that we didn't even realize we would need help with. If I ever have a concern or question about anything with my grandma and need to call their office, I consistently have someone calling me back to help almost immediately. I am so thankful, I couldn't imagine taking care of my grandma without them and I would never consider anyone else.Allison Z.

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

Signing up with Soulistic Hospice was the best decision for our family as our mother’s health declined over the past few years. The care that she received contributed to her being able to maintain a good quality of life, which was most important to her and to us. Mom really wanted to stay at home, and Soulistic staff provided what she needed while also keeping us informed and comforted. The nurses who checked Mom’s health gave us enough details without overwhelming us. The CNAs who came in daily became part of the family, demonstrating amazing care and kindness. They all recognized Mom’s sense of humor and made sure that she always looked nice, as that was also important to her. All the staff were very responsive whenever we had questions or needed more information. Overall, Soulistic provided the best that hospice services can offer and we are grateful that, with their help, we honored our mother’s wishes to experience a peaceful ending to her life.C. Sax

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

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.
