The route ahead

Four steps, in order.

Nothing here is a commitment. You can stop at any step, sit with it, and come back to it later.

  1. 01

    The first conversation

    A phone call, a note from a doctor, a referral from a clinic. Ask anything — what hospice is, what it is not, whether now is the right time. There is no decision to make on that first call.

  2. 02

    The first visit

    A nurse comes to you, at home, and sits down with the whole family. Many families simply listen, ask their questions, and let the room breathe.

  3. 03

    Care at home, on your household’s terms

    Nursing, aides and equipment come to the house. When the person doing the caring needs a night of sleep or an afternoon out, a trained caregiver steps in — a few hours or a few days, arranged around your household, not ours.

  4. 04

    Afterward

    Support does not stop when care ends. Grief and bereavement support stays with the people who are still here — the spouse, the children, the friend who did the driving — and memorial and legacy services help gather the letters, photographs and stories a family wants to keep.

One call, one conversation. Tell us what is happening and we will walk through it with you.

What care looks like

Care that comes to the kitchen table.

Most of what we do happens in ordinary rooms: a living room chair, a hallway, a kitchen table with too many cups on it. The clinical work matters. So does sitting down long enough to hear what a family actually wants.

Not sure which of these fits your situation? That is exactly what the first conversation is for.

Next steps

Three doors, all of them open.

Whether you are sending us a patient, offering a few hours, or making a gift, it starts the same way — you tell us what you have.

01 Refer a patient Send what you have — a name, a chart, a phone call. We follow up with you and with the family, and keep you in the loop as the plan takes shape. 02 Volunteer Sit with a patient, run an errand, drive to an appointment, help with meals or mail. Tell us what you would like to do and how much time you have. 03 Give Your gift supports grief and bereavement support, respite hours, veteran programs and volunteer visits — the work that has no bill attached to it.
