About The Shanti Niketan Hospice Home

Any family that has faced the challenges of an end-of-life journey understands the sorrows and celebrations which come with the passing of a loved one. However, for family members who have not yet passed, there are thousands of unknowns that lie ahead. For them, preparation would seem premature. Their loved ones may be undergoing treatments, trying new therapies, clinging to hope, fighting for their lives—they are not ready, willing nor able to make preparations for what may come…but we are.

While at-home hospice care will continue to be the choice of many, for some families and individuals, that option is either physically prohibitive or too emotionally difficult. For them, being able to move into a specially-designed and home-like hospice setting will provide the relief and peace of mind necessary to address other end-of-life discussions and decisions.

The Shanti Niketan Hospice Home at 1020 Glenview Drive in Glasgow, Kentucky is in close proximity to T.J. Samson Community Hospital. The facility includes eight inpatient rooms, each with private patio access that can accommodate a hospital bed. There are gathering places for families including two living rooms with a fireplace and bookshelves, as well as a kitchen and two dining spaces. There are quiet areas for prayer and meditation, and an outdoor patio that features a calming fountain.
