Hospice

Hospice services address the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of clients and their families as they cope with a life-limiting illness. The Hospice Fund supports National Church Residences compassionate, personal approach that involves both the client and family to create an individual plan that meets their needs and enhances life, either in the client’s home or in a homelike setting.

Your gift will make a difference…

Hospice care does not just focus on patients who are near the end of life, but provides compassion and support to their families. Those caring for a loved one in hospice face unique and difficult challenges that often lead to caregiver burnout.

To relieve stress and increase the sense of well-being for families and loved ones caring for hospice patients, we launched a successful caregiver relief program in 2018, with patients and families expressing their overwhelming appreciation of the services provided.

WHAT WILL YOUR GIFT DO?

• Train home health aides to provide the unique care needed in hospice
• Provide highly skilled caregivers for brief respites on short notice and at odd times of the day or night when volunteer companions are unavailable
• Offer the support caregivers need to have peace of mind that their loved ones receive the care, attention and services to make them comfortable and allow them to remain at home where they want to be
