Caring for a family member on hospice can span weeks or even months. The Caregiver Respite Fund allows hospice to further assist our patients and families by providing funds to hire a professional caregiver to help those who need a break from the day-to-day caretaking that is required when a loved one is dying. Respite hours have been used to enable caregivers to care for their own health needs, attend family commitments, or simply give the caretaker additional support as they begin to manage their new normal at home. This fund has also been used in emergency situations where the usual caregiver is no longer available. This fund makes sure that our Hospice patients are always cared for and safe.
The site navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. Left and right arrows move across top level links and expand / close menus in sub levels. Up and Down arrows will open main level menus and toggle through sub tier links. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.
