Dubuque

People who live in Iowa are served by staff from the Agrace office located at 300 Main Street in Dubuque.

Your care team includes a hospice physician, nurses, nursing assistants, volunteers, and a spiritual & grief counselor who are familiar with your community. 

Agrace is a nonprofit, community-supported health care organization that provides hospice care and grief support to residents in Dubuque, Iowa. Most hospice care is provided in patients’ homes—wherever they call home, which could be a relative’s home or an assisted living or skilled nursing community. 

Agrace offers care and support for people who are seriously ill, dying or grieving, including: 

• Hospice care for people at the end of life 
• Grief support for adults, teens and children 

Agrace serves people of all ages who are nearing the end of life or experiencing grief. 

Hospice care is typically available when a physician believes a person may have six months or less to live if the illness follows its expected course. 

We provide hospice care wherever a person lives, including: 

• Private homes 
• Assisted living communities 
• Skilled nursing facilities 
• Other residential care settings 

Yes. Our hospice care services come to you. We help many patients stay in the place they feel most comfortable, whether that’s their home or inside a care community. 

Hospice care is specialized care for people nearing the end of life. It focuses on comfort, dignity and quality of life rather than curative treatment. 

Hospice is typically appropriate when a person has a serious illness and may have six months or less to live if the illness follows its expected course. 

Families choose Agrace because of:

• High satisfaction ratings from families we serve (91% would definitely recommend Agrace) 
• 24/7 access to hospice nurse advice, including nights and weekends 
• Local care teams who know the community 
• Access to hospice and palliative care board-certified physicians and nurse practitioners, as needed 

Hospice care is usually covered by Medicare, Medicaid or private medical insurance. 

Agrace also offers free or discounted services through our Care for All program for those who qualify financially. No one is turned away due to inability to pay.
