Gentiva Hospice – Orange County delivers end-of-life care at 950 S Dillard St in Winter Garden, Florida, for patients facing terminal illness and their families. Since 1979, the organization has provided hospice and respite services through a multidisciplinary team of registered nurses, licensed social workers, and hospice aides coordinating care across patients’ home environments, hospitals, and residential placements.
Hospice care reframes the final chapter of life around comfort and dignity rather than cure. Gentiva’s model combines pain and symptom management with emotional support, recognizing that end-of-life often requires psychological and spiritual care alongside medical intervention. The organization runs a bereavement program to support grieving family members after loss and maintains a veterans recognition initiative honoring military service.
As a hospice provider, Gentiva operates outside the CMS regulatory inspection system that governs nursing homes and assisted living.
Winter Garden’s location 1.1 miles from downtown with a Walk Score of 88, creates a very walkable setting where families and caregivers can easily access the office and coordinate care logistics. The neighborhood ranks 43rd out of 1,485 similar facilities statewide for walkability, a distinction that matters when families are managing frequent appointments and transitions.
The organization serves patients with a prognosis of six months or less and families seeking palliative care, pain relief, grief support, and the presence of experienced clinical staff during end-of-life transition.
