Home Hospice in Copenhagen – Comfort and Care in Your Own Home

There comes a time in life when everything begins to shift. The days no longer revolve around moving forward or making progress, but simply about being.

That moment arrives when someone we love – or we ourselves – enter the autumn of life.

At Privat Sygeplejerske ApS, we offer home hospice care in Copenhagen to help you and your loved ones navigate this final stage with greater ease.

We provide professional palliative care and take care of the practical aspects, while giving you the opportunity for something far more human: the chance to remain at home.

Choosing private hospice care means you are still surrounded by a dedicated and experienced team of nurses – around the clock.

Our nurses bring with them many years of palliative care experience from hospitals, which they now apply in individually tailored care plans focused on peace, presence, and security in the home.

It’s a chance to pass away at home – to remain surrounded by the familiar, the comforting voices, and the small routines that continue to hold meaning, even when life feels most fragile.

Facts That Speak to the Heart

  • Over 70% of Danes wish to die at home – but only around 22% actually do.
  • More and more people are now expressing a desire to spend their final days at home.
  • The Greater Copenhagen area is one of the regions in Denmark with increasing demand for home hospice care as an alternative.

What Is Home Hospice and Who Is It For?

Private hospice is an option that builds on the principles of traditional hospice care – a setting where healing is no longer the goal, but where quality of life and dignity remain at the center.

It is a unique opportunity to tailor a care plan that helps you meet life when it feels most fragile.

The wish to die at home is becoming more widespread in Denmark – and for many, it’s about holding on to dignity, familiarity, and closeness to the life they’ve known.

A hospice is a place where people with incurable illnesses receive palliative care and support from trained professionals, with a special focus on the needs that arise in this stage of life.

Home hospice in Copenhagen and across Zealand is for those who wish to receive palliative care and support in their own home – where the familiar surroundings provide the backdrop for the final stage of life, and where Privat Sygeplejerske ApS stands ready with our experienced team of private nurses, many of whom come from years of working in palliative care in the public sector.

Home Hospice in Copenhagen – Focused on You and Your Needs

At Privat Sygeplejerske ApS, we care for only the number of patients that allows us to provide the time, presence, and continuity each person deserves.

Each course of treatment begins with a personal conversation, where we meet with you or your family to understand your needs and tailor a treatment plan that matches your health history and current situation.

This might include the need for presence, help with practical tasks, or a companion scheme.

For us, security also means familiarity – and that’s one of our core values. Once your care plan is in place, you’ll be assigned one or more nurses, and you can expect to meet the same familiar faces throughout your entire process.

This ensures continuity and connection – helping to build a relationship of trust and safety.

Your nurse will collaborate with public services, your doctor, and the hospital, ensuring a full understanding of your situation and helping to provide the best care, comfort, and quality of life possible.

Home Hospice or Traditional Hospice – What Should I Choose?

There is no right or wrong way to approach the end of life. Some feel safest within the structure of a traditional hospice. Others feel a deep need to stay at home. That’s where Privat Sygeplejerske ApS comes in.

Home hospice in Copenhagen makes this possible – and can often be combined with support from the public sector.

When facing a difficult life situation – full of emotions and practical decisions – finances can also play a role. Many ask us about the price of hospice care, especially what private hospice costs.

At Privat Sygeplejerske ApS, every care plan is tailored to individual needs. We’re happy to help you gain a clear overview of both available subsidies and the overall cost.
Our goal is always for you to feel safe – emotionally and practically.

This isn’t about choosing “either-or,” but rather finding what feels right. That’s why we always recommend an initial conversation – to help you feel what solution provides the most comfort for you.
