Butte, Montana
Welcome to Stillwater Hospice in Butte, Montana, where we are dedicated to providing exceptional end-of-life care, focusing on growth, compassion, and community. With a deep understanding of the challenges faced by rural communities in accessing hospice services, we are committed to ensuring that all Montanans have access to the Medicare benefits they have earned and deserve.
Our journey in Butte began with recognizing the need for growth and direction in providing hospice care. Drawing on our experience and expertise, we saw an opportunity to expand our territory and become the provider of choice for Montana. With a passion for serving rural communities and a commitment to "going the distance" to ensure access to care, we specialize in delivering compassionate hospice services to those in remote areas.
At Stillwater Hospice, we believe in infusing our culture of care and compassion into established agencies, ensuring that every individual receives the highest quality of care tailored to their unique needs. We understand the complexities of navigating Medicare relations and have shifted our focus to purchasing existing agencies, leveraging our internal bandwidth, knowledge, and expertise to expand our reach and help more people.
Having worked in Butte before, we have a deep appreciation for the community and a familiarity with the area that allows us to feel right at home. We understand the unique needs of Montana communities and are dedicated to finding innovative solutions to meet those needs, often going above and beyond what corporate companies can offer.
Join us as we grow and make a difference in the lives of individuals and families in Butte and beyond. Together, we can ensure everyone receives the compassionate end-of-life care they deserve, no matter where they call home.
Palliative Care in Butte, Montana
Stillwater Hospice provides community-based palliative care services in Butte, Montana—offering meaningful support for individuals living with serious illness.
Palliative care is centered on improving quality of life by helping patients manage symptoms, ease stress, and receive additional support while continuing medical treatment. Unlike hospice care, it can begin at any stage of illness and works alongside a patient’s primary care providers and specialists.
The Butte team delivers personalized, in-home care designed to help patients stay comfortable while navigating complex or chronic conditions—whether they’re in Uptown, the Flats, or surrounding areas near landmarks like the Berkeley Pit.
Services include:
• Pain and symptom management
• In-home provider visits
• Medication support and monitoring
• Lab work and diagnostic coordination
• Collaboration with the patient’s medical team
• 24/7 telephone support for guidance and questions
This approach allows patients and families throughout the Butte community to access compassionate, coordinated care earlier in their healthcare journey—supporting comfort, clarity, and overall well-being.
Stillwater Hospice continues its commitment to serving patients and families across Montana with care that meets them where they are.
