Overview
“There’s no place like home.” It’s not just a saying, it’s a fact when it comes to your health. You’re likely to do better recovering from an illness or injury in your home than in a hospital. Likewise, people at the end of life are more comfortable at home, surrounded by familiar faces and surroundings.
At Cooley Dickinson VNA & Hospice, we’re here to help you manage whatever challenges you face. For those facing short-term illness or injury, that can mean the specialized assistance of a nurse or physical therapist. For those facing terminal illnesses, that can mean the emotional, physical and spiritual support of everyone from medical experts to therapeutic musicians.
A trained team, ready to come to you
We’re fortunate to have 135 employees on our hard-working team who are all focused on home-based care. These compassionate, talented professionals made 55,000 visits to patients in the last year, providing care for those needing assistance seven days a week throughout Hampshire County and parts of Franklin County.
Our team’s experts include:
- Nurses
- Physical, occupational and speech therapists
- Social workers
- Home health aides
- Grief and Spiritual counselors
- Volunteers

A history of support
A non-profit, community health organization, the Cooley Dickinson VNA & Hospice has provided high-quality care for the area’s residents since 1906. Since 1967, the VNA has evolved and expanded its commitment to home-based care, beginning as the Northampton Visiting Nurse Association and eventually growing to include:
- VNA Plus of Western Massachusetts
- Hampshire County Home Care Services
- Easthampton VNA
- Hampshire County VNA
- Hospice of Hampshire County
- VNA/Hospice Alliance
Our name has changed a few times, but what remains unchanged is our commitment to providing compassionate care in your home.
