Mount Clemens is the Macomb County seat, a small city of about 15,700 on the Clinton River with a downtown of older brick buildings and the Anton Art Center in its restored Carnegie library. For a century it was famous for its mineral baths, which drew visitors from all over the country until the last bathhouses closed in the 1970s. Next door, Harrison Township runs along Lake St. Clair and includes Selfridge Air National Guard Base and Lake St. Clair Metropark. Between them are families with deep roots and long memories, and a strong wish to care for their own at home.
Starting hospice in Mount Clemens: the first call and first week
McLaren Macomb is right in Mount Clemens on Harrington Boulevard, and Henry Ford Macomb Hospital is a few miles west on 19 Mile Road in Clinton Township. Those are the hospitals most families here know. If hospice comes up during a stay, tell the case manager you would like Lily. We will coordinate the discharge and have equipment delivered before your loved one arrives home. Read about going home on hospice from the hospital.
If your family member is at home, call any time. A nurse visits, usually the same day, to understand the illness, the medications and what your family is hoping for. With a physician’s agreement, we admit at home that visit or the next. During the first week you will meet your nurse, home health aide and social worker, and a chaplain if you want one. Every family gets a plan for what to do if symptoms change at night.
Who qualifies for hospice in Mount Clemens
Hospice is meant for a person whose doctor expects a serious illness to run its course within about six months if things follow their usual path, and who wants comfort to come first. In Mount Clemens that often means advanced dementia, heart failure, COPD, cancer, kidney disease, Parkinson’s, stroke, or simply the slow decline of very old age. A physician certifies eligibility, and the family doctor can stay involved.
Nobody needs to be bedbound to qualify, and choosing hospice does not mean choosing to stop living well. If you are unsure, read our Is It Time? guide or the signs it may be time for hospice. A Lily nurse will also visit to talk it through, with no obligation.

What hospice costs Mount Clemens families
For almost everyone, nothing. Medicare Part A, Michigan Medicaid and most employer and marketplace plans cover hospice services completely: visits, comfort medications related to the illness, equipment such as a hospital bed or oxygen, supplies, social work and spiritual care, respite and a year of grief support. What Medicare covers in Michigan.
People on Medicare Advantage keep their hospice coverage through Original Medicare, which surprises many families. See how Medicare Advantage works with hospice. The main thing hospice does not cover is the daily room-and-board charge at a facility, which is explained with what hospice costs in Michigan.

Respite for Mount Clemens caregivers
A spouse who has been up every night for weeks is running on empty. The hospice benefit includes respite care: up to five days at a time in a Medicare-approved facility, so the caregiver can sleep, see a doctor of their own, or make it to a grandchild’s wedding. The patient comes home afterward and the same team picks up where it left off. Lily arranges the stay. Read more about how hospice respite care works.
