Overview

Mission

Provide quality compassionate care to hospice patients and their families, and to educate the community in end-of-life care.

What it reported doing in 2025

Hospice services provides professional visits by nurses, social workers, therapists, dietician, chaplain and volunteers to terminally ill patients at their place of residence. Under the medicare, medical, or private insurance hospice benefit, we also provided all medications, medical equipment and supplies related to the terminal diagnosis. We are able to provide services no charge in the absense of a third-party reimbursement source, through income from our hospice shop which is largely operated by volunteers. In the past fiscal year we provided services to 163 patients, we provided community based grief counseling at no charge to numerous individuals, and we provided 142 hours of volunteer respite services to patients and patient families. Our palliative care staff offered consultation and telephone follow-up to patients not yet ready for hospice care.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 91% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
