Overview

Mission

Provide Health and Supportive Services to terminally ill individuals at their home or in a medical facility in Southeastern Connecticut.

What it reported doing in 2019

Hospice Home Care is a program designed to care for terminally ill patients through the use of the Interdisciplinary Team, which includes Nurses, HHA's, MSW's, Medical Director, Clergy, Therapists, Pharmacists, Trained Volunteers and Counselors. Care is provided in the person's place of residence, where ever that may be. Bereavement support is provided to the family for up to thirteen months after death.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
