OpusCare of Florida recently broke ground on Miami-Dade County’s first free-standing 13 bed inpatient hospice unit. The new facility will be located in the Village of Palmetto Bay.

The new facility will help meet the needs of current and future OpusCare patients by improving the delivery of hospice care services. The facility will provide a home-like setting where patients and their families will be able to have privacy and access to supportive care from OpusCare’s hospice specialized staff.
 
The oasis-style unit will be complete with 13 private suites, state-of-the-art technology, a meditation garden, chapel, and dedicated areas for counseling, spiritual, and bereavement services that are not easy nor ideal to provide in a hospital setting.
 
A freestanding hospice inpatient unit in Miami-Dade County would allow for OpusCare to extend and further enhance the quality and continuity of care that they currently provide. OpusCare’s specialized services, innovative facility, and qualified staffing will allow patients and their families to have an alternate, independent choice with the patient’s best interest in mind.
