Programs
Hospice Care
Care Dimensions tailors interdisciplinary customized care plans for the seriously ill, their loved ones and caregivers to help manage pain and symptoms, and honor personal needs and goals at end of life.
Palliative Care
For those with advanced illness who are not quite ready for hospice, palliative care provides an extra layer of support for comfort and pain relief from diagnosis throughout the course of treatment.
Bereavement Support
Our comprehensive grief support program includes counseling for the loved ones of our patients, and workshops, support groups, special remembrance events and tribute programs for any adult or child in the community who has experienced a loss. Our children’s program also includes a family summer camp retreat, a school-based grief program and educational workshops for parents and teachers of grieving children and teens.
HomeMD
We deliver physician-led, primary care to adults 65 years of age or older who are home-bound or home-limited because of physical or emotional limitations.
Specialized Support
We tailor programs for pediatrics, veterans and persons with disabilities, and from all faiths, caregivers. We provide specialized support for patients with several advanced condition including cardiac and pulmonary illnesses and dementias.
Community and Professional Education
We are committed to equipping community members and healthcare professionals with the knowledge and tools to better understand and navigate serious illness, death and loss. Each year we offer more than 500 educational workshops, resources and continuing education programs to support current and future patents and families and encourage the professional development of the healthcare workforces of today and the future.
Volunteering + Events
Volunteering
Volunteers are at the heart of our mission, enhancing our care plans by offering friendly companionship visits with our patients and their loved ones. Volunteers also serve as support in many office and administrative roles throughout our organization.
Events
Not all hospice expenses are reimbursed. Philanthropic endeavors seek to engage the community in supporting the charitable care needs of the elderly, poor and seriously ill neighbors and meet gaps in expenses from non-reimbursed services and support and help elevate the standard of care. Our annual Walk for Hospice and our Holiday Tree of Lights ceremony are two major fundraising events that help us meet those expense gaps.
