Hospice staff wanted the Ray Hickey Hospice House to be as warm and inviting as possible, so when you're here you take ownership of the space. It's a calm, serene atmosphere, but it's also a place where you can kick up your feet and have dinner with the family.

The entrance to the Ray Hickey Hospice is a showcase for natural resources of the Pacific Northwest. Stone and timbers from the region reflect the underlying grace and strength that hospice patients reveal.

A tranquil garden forms the central courtyard. A stone fountain symbolizing the Circle of Life sets the stage for quiet reflection. The garden was a gift to the Hospice House from employees at Southwest Washington Medical Center.

The parlor shines in warm colors and all the comforts of home, with furnishings arranged in separate seating areas for patients and their guests. A kitchen area sits just outside this photo, near the table in the bottom right. Patients or their guests can create snacks or home cooked meals.

An artist's aerial view rendering of the Ray Hickey Hospice shows the central courtyard surrounded by patient rooms, public and work areas. Other amenities include a chapel, meditation area, and craft room.
