At Suncrest, we offer physician-guided hospice care, and your loved one can receive the support they need in their own home.
In-home hospice care helps Salt Lake City residents who:

Care plans are personalized for each patient. From skilled nursing to emotional and spiritual support, we help your loved one in every way we can.

For patients and their loved ones, hospice care usually involves:
- Pain relief and symptom management
- Medical equipment, medications and supplies delivered to the home
- Regular visits from hospice nurses and hospice aides
- Caregiver training, support and respite care
- Massage, music and pet therapy
- Grief counseling, bereavement support and spiritual care
- 24-hour support through a nurse triage line
At Suncrest, we support Salt Lake City patients by personalizing every care plan and providing the specific services each family needs. Our team is ready to help with every part of the end-of-life journey, so you can focus on your time together.

Serving Utah’s Growing Senior Population
Utah is the youngest state in the country, but its senior population is growing fast, and Utah families lead the nation in choosing hospice care:
- Utah ranks #1 in hospice use: 59.6% of Utah Medicare patients were enrolled in hospice at the time of death, the highest rate of any state and well above the national average of 46.9%
- 152,300+ seniors in Salt Lake County: About 12.5% of county residents are age 65 or older, and that share keeps climbing as baby boomers age
- Nearly 2 million people in Salt Lake and Utah counties: together they are home to more than half the state’s population, and a large share of its seniors
- Record senior growth: Utah’s 65 and older population grew faster between 2010 and 2020 than in any decade in the past century
- Families close by: With a median age of 31.7, Utah is full of adult children and grandchildren who live near aging parents and take an active role in their care
Utah families trust hospice more than families anywhere else in the country. Our Salt Lake City team works every day to honor that trust.

Understanding Utah’s Unique Hospice Care Needs
Providing hospice care in Salt Lake and Utah counties comes with considerations you will not find anywhere else. Here is how we serve Utah families:
LDS Faith and Ward Communities
Many Salt Lake City families belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and ward members, bishops and Relief Society sisters often play a big role when someone is nearing the end of life. Our team welcomes that support. We work alongside ward leaders and honor sacred practices like priesthood blessings and family prayer. And we care for families of every faith and background across the valley.
Large, Close-Knit Families
Utah has some of the largest households in the nation, and family sits at the center of life here. Adult children, grandchildren and siblings often want a voice in care decisions. We make room for that. Our team communicates with the whole family and helps everyone understand what to expect.
Coordination with Utah’s Major Medical Centers
Salt Lake City families have access to excellent hospitals, including Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, University of Utah Hospital, Huntsman Cancer Institute and St. Mark’s Hospital. Our team coordinates closely with these hospitals, and with Utah Valley Hospital in Provo, to move patients smoothly from hospital care to hospice care at home.
Veterans and Military Families
Salt Lake and Utah counties are home to thousands of veterans, including many connected to Camp Williams and the VA Salt Lake City Health Care System. We accept Tricare and VA Community Care Network coverage through TriWest, and we understand the specific end-of-life needs many veterans carry.
Aging in Place in Salt Lake and Utah Counties
Many Utah seniors have lived in the same home for decades, from Sugar House bungalows to family homes in Sandy and Draper. Most want to stay there. Our hospice team makes that possible. We bring care, equipment and medications to the patient, through every season Utah weather brings.
A Community That Understands Hospice
Utah leads the nation in hospice use, which means many Salt Lake City families have already seen hospice help a neighbor, a ward member or a relative. Families here know what good hospice care looks like, and they expect it. We welcome those expectations.
