Hospice residence
Although home hospice is an ideal choice for many patients, it may not be the
best option for some. In cases where there is no caregiver, or the caregiver has
become weary and fatigued, a hospice residence can be the answer.
The Aurora Visiting Nurse Association has a comfortable inpatient facility
where compassionate care is delivered in a secure and home-like setting to
patients who cannot be cared for at home or simply prefer not to be. The facility
is designed specifically for the unique needs of hospice
patients and their families.
The Aurora VNA Zilber Family Hospice
 The recently opened 18-bed Aurora VNA Zilber Family Hospice residence
provides a continuous care option for those in need of pain and symptom
management, and spiritual and psychosocial support at end-of-life. This homelike
setting offers large patient suites that accommodate overnight stays for family
or friends, outdoor patios and courtyards, family lounges, a meditation space,
library and solarium. In addition, the carefully chosen furnishings help create
an atmosphere where the physical environment supports the caring work of
volunteers and staff.
The Aurora VNA Zilber Family Hospice is the only facility in the metro
Milwaukee area to provide care and support for children at the end of life.

Hospice services for children
The Aurora Visiting Nurse Association Hospice Program in collaboration with
Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin has pediatric specialists trained to provide
comfort care to children of all ages. Through the expertise of the
interdisciplinary pediatric hospice team, children and their families will
receive the care and compassion needed to make the best of every day.
In the Milwaukee area, if a child is unable to remain at home, we provide
services through Children’s Hospital and the Aurora VNA Zilber Family Hospice.
For children outside the Metro area, care options may be available through local
facilities.
