The Hospice of Baton Rouge

Celebrating 40 Years of Compassionate Care: This year marks our 40th Anniversary, and we're reflecting on the incredible journey we've shared over the past four decades.

In 2007, The Hospice of Baton Rouge took a significant step forward with the acquisition of land for what would later become The Retreat at Quarters Lake, a testament to our ongoing commitment to expanding our services and providing comfort to those in need.

Join us in honoring our legacy and the countless lives we've touched along the way. To learn more about The Hospice of Baton Rouge, visit hospicebr.org

On yesterday, The Hospice of Baton Rouge took the time to honor one of our residents, Mr. William Fisher, for his service as a veteran. The ceremony was a heartfelt tribute to Mr. Fisher's dedication and sacrifices made during his time in the Air Force.

The ceremony highlighted the profound respect and appreciation the community holds for its veterans, ensuring that their legacies of service are remembered and celebrated.

Thank you for your service, Mr. Fisher! 🇺🇸♥️🤍💙🇺🇸

Update: Sweet Grey has found her forever home with one of our team members and is spending her days with lots of love and cuddles!

Meet Grey, a sweet 2 ½-year-old female cat in search of her new home. She is affectionate with people but prefers to be the only cat in the household.

We currently have two adorable pups in search of a new loving home through our Pet Peace of Mind program. Meet Stella, a 7-year-old, 7 lb chihuahua who is spayed, housebroken and enjoys the company of other dogs. She can be a bit shy at first, but once she warms up, her playful personality shines through. Weaver, a 12-year-old, 25 lb neutered rat terrier mix who is housebroken but is selective with other dogs and cats. Weaver loves people and would thrive as the only pup in a home. They are not a bonded pair, so they can be fostered or adopted individually.
All applicants must provide a vet reference and allow a home assessment for consideration in adoption.
If you are interested in fostering or adopting, please call or email Holly Taylor at: [email protected] / 225-767-4673

As we continue to grow, so does our need for amazing nurses! Join our team and apply at:
