NEW! Home Hospice Program

    The pending passing of a loved one can be stressful and sad.   It can also be peaceful and spiritual.  It’s a time many want to spend at home.  With our newly dedicated St. Camilus Home Hospice, specially trained nurses, chaplains and staff are providing wholistic care to people close to death. 

    Like St. Camillus himself, we care not only for the body and the mind, but also for the spirit and the faith of all involved.   Home Hospice care is a huge blessing not only to the person preparing for Heaven, but also for the family.  Home Hospice can relieve some of the stress and worry of providing care and of not knowing if you are doing all the right things at the right times.  It can give you time to focus on the relationship and to prepare for the eventual passing.  You can give these blessings to families in need.  You can give them the gift of time to laugh, cry, make peace, relieve pain and prepare for the journey “home” to Heaven. 

To receive Medicare reimbursement, we first must start providing Hospice care.  That means we’ll have expenses without being able to charge over the coming months.  It could take six months without income before the state inspects and approves our program.  In the meantime, we must pay to hire nurses, aides, and social workers, provide medications and supply equipment such as hospital beds.  We estimate start-up expenses could be $200,000 before the program can be self-sustaining.  While we need large gifts to help us start Home Hospice, gifts of any size will help!
