**Unity Hospice

Unity Hospice’s first inpatient residence is nestled into a scenic rural hillside and affords views of the adjacent woods and neighboring countryside. The spacious 34-acre site is designed to include botanical gardens, multiple ponds and walking paths for patients, families and friends to access the beautiful surroundings. The exterior of the residence consists of natural stone and shingle siding giving it a warm and inviting character. The large porches with traditional detailing and oversized doors accommodate access for patient beds and allow for intimate family gatherings. The 12,000 s.f. residence contains two six-bed wings with a large central living room and stone fireplace. Additional family rooms are located at the ends of each wing to provide privacy and comfort for families and visitors. Exquisite detailing throughout the residence minimizes the often institutional feel from code compliant 8-foot wide corridors and hospital design standards. This marriage of functionality and patient friendly design culminates in a harmonious environment for hospice care.
