Angela Hospice

What Angela Hospice does

Angela Hospice Home Care, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit hospice organization founded in 1985 in Livonia, Michigan, sponsored by the Felician Sisters. It delivers end-of-life and palliative care services to adults, children, and prenatal patients across southeast Michigan through an interdisciplinary clinical model that includes medical care, pain and symptom management, social work, spiritual care, music therapy, and respite care. The organization operates two physical Care Centers — the original Livonia facility and a new 15-bed Waterford residence opened December 2024 on the Lourdes Senior Community campus — alongside home-based hospice, skilled nursing and assisted living partnerships, and a Telehospice (AVA) platform for remote patient care.

The core technology layer is the Telehospice (AVA) platform, which enables virtual visits and remote patient monitoring to extend hospice care beyond in-person encounters; no proprietary AI or software products are disclosed. Service breadth is complemented by a community-facing grief care ecosystem that includes free support groups (Walking Together, Crafting Community, Together in Grief, Creative Connections for Young Grievers, Healing Roots), the Good Grief and dementia caregiver guidebooks, the Angela Cares virtual speakers series, and events such as the Walk of Remembrance and Camp Monarch.

The business model is reimbursement-driven: the majority of clinical revenue flows from Medicare and Medicaid hospice payments, supplemented by community donations and memorial gifts that fund grief programs and facility enhancements. Angela Hospice is CHAP-accredited (CMS-approved accreditor), HIPAA-compliant, a We Honor Veterans partner, a 2023 GreatNonprofits Top-Rated Nonprofit, and holds a 4-star rating on CMS Hospice Compare. Marketing and patient acquisition are community-led, combining healthcare professional referrals, a Patient Access Center (734.464.7810), social media, newsletters, and educational content.
