Scripture Verse

Man that is born of a woman, hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery. He cometh up, and is cut down, like a flower; he fleeth as it were a shadow, and never continueth in one stay. — Job xiv:1,2, The Burial Sentences [At the Grave]

Joseph Richey Hospice

The Joseph Richey Hospice, established in 1987, is Maryland’s oldest free-standing hospice. Richey House, a 20-bed inpatient and residential hospice facility, is located in downtown Baltimore. The hospice also provides home hospice care to the greater Baltimore community. Joseph Richey was founded by the All Saints Sisters of the Poor and by Mount Calvary Episcopal Church to offer care to those who could not otherwise access hospice care because they were alone or lacked an able caregiver in the home. The hospice is state licensed, and Medicare/Medicaid certified.
