More Info: Hospice of North Idaho plans to build an eight- to 12-bed facility in Coeur d’Alene to accommodate North Idaho residents who are near death and whose care needs exceed what can be managed at home or in a long-term care facility. Ground-breaking for the facility is anticipated in the spring, according to the nonprofit’s executive director, Paul Weil. Money for the project is being raised through donations. The “hospice house” would be the first of its kind in Idaho.
