At times, hospice patients may need more care than what can be provided at home. The Marie Steiner Kelting Hospice Home is the first residential hospice in the west-metro suburbs to provide Medicare-certified general inpatient and respite care, in addition to daily hospice services to hospice patients and their families.
Focused on the unique needs of each patient, the Marie Steiner Kelting Hospice Home offers an exceptional environment and the highest-quality care. (Check out our virtual tour below.)

Natural Environment & Design

A Community-Built Hospice Home
The Marie Steiner Kelting Hospice Home has been funded by generous donors in the Ridgeview community. The Hospice Home is located on a beautiful three-acre site that was donated by the City of Chaska.
A generous lead gift from Paul and Sheila Steiner of Waconia named the home in memory of Paul's sister, Marie Steiner Kelting. The Steiner family wish is that families will enjoy the beauty and comfort of this Hospice Home.
Paying for Care
Hospice services provided by the interdisciplinary team, medications and equipment related to the life-limiting diagnoses are covered by the Hospice Medicare Benefit, Medicaid and most private insurance plans. Daily residence fees are the responsibility of the patient and family.
