On International Women's Day, we celebrate the remarkable women who have shaped the field of hospice care, embodying the spirit of compassion and dedication. Among them stands Dame Cicely Saunders, the visionary founder of the modern hospice movement. Her pioneering efforts have paved the way for compassionate end-of-life care worldwide. Let's recognize the women who work hard ensuring every individual receives dignified, high-quality care. Let's thank them for making a difference in hospice —?and healthcare, from caregivers to volunteers, and beyond. #InternationalWomensDay #HospiceCare #WomenInHealthcare

Improving the comfort and quality of life for hospice patients and their families by providing urgent financial relief.
关于我们
Hospice Help Foundation improves the comfort and quality of life for hospice patients and their families by providing urgent financial relief. Our support transcends the usual scope of hospice care by providing assistance for services not covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance. Some of the ways the Foundation helps patients and families include: - Paying essentials including rent, utilities, and food bills so patients can spend their final days in the comfort of their homes - Providing basic necessities such as eyeglasses, dentures, and clothing to enhance dignity at end-of-life - Covering transportation costs to bring families together at a critical time - Assisting with funeral costs for indigent patients, so that a dignified burial is possible - Granting last wishes, such as a trip to a major league baseball game, a last trip to the beach, and help with veterinary bills for beloved pets - Providing ramps, wheelchairs, and chairlifts, so that patients can remain independent and mobile for as long as possible For every patient served, HHF calculates that there are at least an additional four people directly impacted by the organization’s financial support, including family members, caregivers, and the members of the hospice team who care for patients. One social worker told us: "I can't tell you how grateful my patient was that Hospice Help Foundation was able to pay the rent for him and his wife. It was useful, tangible support when otherwise, all he was getting was bad news. It took a real financial burden off the couple and allowed them to focus on each other, their relationship, and her care. It also provided the opening needed for our hospice agency to bond with the couple. It was the first tangible evidence that we could help and was so important for them to build trust in our services."

Hospice team members are problem solvers! ?? When a patient has a particular unmet need outside the scope of what Medicare can provide, we have access to the Hospice Helps Foundation a non-profit built upon donations from previous patient families and the public to help those in hospice care with unmet needs and financial burden. ?? We were happy to accept a donation for this patient who lives alone, has complex social and health issues and is bedbound in order to pay for his home to be cleaned from top to bottom after being in the hospital for 80 days prior to going on hospice, leaving his home unkept. His biggest goal was to be home with his cat for his final days. Our team is grateful to Hospice Helps to help us make sure we made this wish happen in a home that is safe, healthy and where he can live his last days in dignity.???? #hospicehelps #compassus #patientcenteredcare
