Hospice Care in Auburn Hills, MI
Updated September 2026. Written and reviewed by the Lily Hospice clinical team.
Lily Hospice provides hospice care throughout Auburn Hills, at home, in assisted living, memory care and nursing homes. Our Troy office is about 20 minutes away, a nurse can usually evaluate the same day you call, and a real person answers (248) 955-5100 around the clock.
Most people know Auburn Hills for what sits along I-75: the Stellantis North American headquarters, Oakland University, Great Lakes Crossing and the office parks around M-59. But the city started as Pontiac Township and the old village of Auburn Heights, and it still has quiet residential streets, older homes near the revitalized downtown on Auburn Road, and neighborhoods full of longtime residents. Families here are often juggling demanding jobs with a parent’s care. Hospice brings a team to the house so that work, school and caregiving do not all land on one person.
Starting hospice in Auburn Hills
Auburn Hills families are usually cared for at McLaren Oakland or Trinity Health Oakland Hospital, both a few minutes away in Pontiac, or at Corewell Health Beaumont Troy Hospital on Dequindre. When a doctor recommends comfort care, ask the discharge planner to call Lily; we will coordinate so that the bed, oxygen and medications are at the house when your loved one arrives. See going home on hospice from Corewell Troy and our general guide to going home on hospice from the hospital.
You can also call us directly from home. A nurse usually visits the same day to assess your loved one and talk with the family. If hospice is the right fit and the physician agrees, care starts right away. In the first week, expect visits from a nurse, an aide for bathing and personal care, a social worker who helps with paperwork, family meetings and planning, and a chaplain if you would like one. Tell us about work schedules and the team will try to plan visits around them. The phone is answered by a person around the clock.
Who qualifies for hospice
Hospice is for anyone whose doctor believes a serious illness is likely to run its course within about six months, and who is ready to focus on comfort rather than cure. Common diagnoses include cancer, heart failure, lung disease, dementia, kidney failure, Parkinson’s, ALS and the overall decline of advanced age. Two physicians certify eligibility, and hospice can be stopped at any time.
If you are trying to decide, read Is It Time? and the signs it may be time for hospice. A Lily nurse can visit for an evaluation with no obligation.
What Medicare, Medicaid and insurance cover
Hospice is fully covered under Medicare Part A: team visits, medications and equipment for the hospice diagnosis, supplies, respite stays and grief support for the family. Medicaid and most employer plans also cover hospice, and people on Medicare Advantage use their Original Medicare hospice benefit. Most Auburn Hills families pay nothing out of pocket for hospice services. See Medicare hospice coverage in Michigan, Medicare Advantage and hospice, and how much hospice costs.
