Community Hospice & Palliative Care provides grief and loss support for individuals coping with the death of a loved one and seeking guidance through their healing process.
If you or someone you know has suffered a loss, having support from others can make a meaningful difference. All bereavement services offered by Community Hospice & Palliative Care are available at no cost to hospice families for up to 13 months after the passing of a loved one, with select services also offered to the broader community free of charge.
We deliver specialized, respectful, and compassionate care tailored to the unique needs of our veteran patients. Our physicians, nurses, and social workers are trained to understand veterans’ end-of-life needs and to ensure their service and sacrifices are honored. They are also equipped to recognize and address the emotional, moral, and spiritual struggles that may stem from combat. Supporting veterans through these visible and invisible wounds becomes especially meaningful as they approach the end of life.
Community Hospice & Palliative Care volunteers are valued members of our community, each bringing unique strengths and backgrounds. Our Volunteer Services team partners closely with all volunteers to match their abilities and interests with the areas where they are needed most. There are many ways you can contribute as a Community Hospice & Palliative Care volunteer.
Advance care planning (ACP) is the process of thinking about, discussing, and clarifying your values, beliefs, and past experiences to determine how you would want to live if you were ever faced with a serious or life-limiting illness. This may also involve considering the type of care you would prefer at the end of life.
An important part of ACP is choosing someone you trust to speak on your behalf if you become unable to make your own decisions, giving you peace of mind that your wishes will be honored. You can also decide whether to complete an ACP document, commonly known as an advance directive.
