Unity, Northeast Wisconsin’s first and most preferred nonprofit hospice and palliative care provider, has partnered with Meadowbrook at Oconto Falls, to open a dedicated hospice wing. The collaboration enables Unity and Meadowbrook to meet the growing demand for hospice care delivery.

The Unity Sunset Wing at Meadowbrook, located at 100 E Highland Dr, Oconto Falls, WI provides a homelike, caring environment for around-the-clock hospice care until the end-of-life, as well as for temporary caregiver relief. Patients and families benefit not only from a full complement of compassionate staff who provide medical, emotional, spiritual, and grief support, but also amenities such as private and semi-private rooms, freshly prepared meals, and a family gathering area. Visits from family, friends, and pets are welcome at any time.
