Overview of Azorna Hospice & Palliative Care

Azorna Hospice & Palliative Care offers mobile end-of-life support and comfort management throughout the Mesa, Arizona area. Run by Azorna Healthcare LLC under the direction of administrator Lisa Hunt and executive director Michael Hunt, the agency has six years of local operating experience. The clinical program is structured around palliative therapies and routine home nursing visits, allowing individuals to receive care inside their private residences.

The administrative office is located at 2919 South Ellsworth Road in south Mesa. This neighborhood has a walkability score of 44 out of 100, which reflects a car-dependent layout where field personnel utilize vehicles to distribute services, though a few basic amenities sit nearby. The care team includes a medical director, specialized nurses, hospice aides, social workers, and chaplains who handle pain management, personal hygiene assistance, spiritual counseling, and bereavement support.

Under this model, Medicare covers the delivery of medications and medical equipment directly to the home, with short-term inpatient care available for advanced symptom crises. State regulatory data from the Arizona Department of Health Services indicates zero severe enforcement actions, showing a compliance record that tracks favorably against state averages.

Interested individuals can coordinate an initial assessment with a care manager to verify Medicare benefits and establish a comfort plan.
