What We Offer

Comprehensive Care,
Rooted in Dignity

Our team delivers a full range of hospice and palliative services, tailored to the unique needs of each patient and family we serve in the Tacoma community.

Pain & Symptom Management

Expert clinical care focused on comfort — managing pain, nausea, breathlessness, and other symptoms so patients can live each day with as much ease and quality as possible.

Emotional & Spiritual Support

Our chaplains and counselors provide compassionate guidance for patients and families, honoring each person's beliefs, values, and personal journey through end-of-life care.

In-Home Hospice Care

Receive professional hospice care in the comfort of your own home. Our nurses and aides visit regularly, ensuring patients are safe, supported, and surrounded by loved ones.

Bereavement Counseling

Grief doesn't end when care does. We offer structured bereavement support for families, helping them navigate loss with compassion and community connection for up to 13 months.

Medication & Medical Equipment

We coordinate all prescription medications related to the hospice diagnosis and arrange delivery of medical equipment — wheelchairs, hospital beds, and more — directly to the patient's home.

24/7 Crisis & Respite Care

When symptoms escalate or caregivers need a break, we provide immediate crisis intervention and short-term respite care — ensuring no family faces a difficult moment alone.

St Joseph Hosp Pauilian/Tacma Ra has been a steadfast presence in the Tacoma community, providing end-of-life and palliative care that goes beyond medical treatment. We understand that illness touches every corner of a family — and we are here to support every dimension of that experience.

Our interdisciplinary team — including physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, and trained volunteers — works in close coordination to create personalized care plans that honor each patient's goals, cultural background, and spiritual beliefs.

Whether your loved one is at home, in a care facility, or receiving palliative support, we bring the same unwavering commitment: to ensure every day is lived with comfort, dignity, and the deep respect every Tacoma resident deserves.

Voices From
Tacoma Families

The trust of the Tacoma community is our greatest measure of success. Here is what families have shared about their experience with our hospice care.

The team at St Joseph made what should have been unbearable feel gentle and manageable. They treated my mother like family — and they treated us with the patience and understanding we desperately needed.

I cannot express how grateful we are for the nurses who came to our home every day. They noticed things we missed and advocated for our father when he could not speak for himself. That kind of dedication is rare.

The bereavement support gave us a lifeline after our loss. Months later, knowing there was still someone to talk to made all the difference. This organization truly cares about the whole family — not just the patient.
