Gulfside Hospice - Hospice House, Zephyrhills

This is the Rucki Hospice Care Center, open since 2010, for east Pasco families. Rooms are a mix of private and semi-private. A couch in the room becomes a bed, and each room has a large bathroom with a no-curb shower. Double doors let the bed be rolled onto the veranda. A walk leads to a butterfly garden and a shaded pavilion by the pond. Visitors may come any day of the year.
