McCarthy Care Center

McCarthy Care Center

When increased symptoms cannot be managed safely at home, we also provide short-term, acute inpatient care at McCarthy Care Center  in Sandwich. This small facility offers private rooms and comfortable common spaces in a peaceful, home-like atmosphere, where family and friends are welcome to visit 24 hours a day. The center's skilled care team provides individualized care and emotional support to help hospice patients feel safe, comfortable and valued, with a goal of managing symptoms until a patient is stable.

The specially designed center is equipped with the technology of an inpatient hospital unit, arranged in a tranquil and unique setting. All patient rooms are spacious and private, with balconies overlooking the surrounding woods. Designed to blend with nature, the light-filled space offers a peaceful environment for a restful stay and includes shared common areas such as the kitchen and dining area. A chapel provides a quiet place for meditation and reflection.

At McCarthy Care Center we strive to make patients feel as comfortable as possible and to provide the support patients and their families need to make the most of their time together.
