About this organization
Mission
Even small acts and celebrations can have a profound impact on the lives of hospice patients and those closest to them. Seasons Hospice Foundation brings comfort to patients and families by providing essentials and enriching lives with fond, lasting memories. Our funds also support community education to increase awareness about the benefits of hospice, funding for special programs and applied research to improve the quality of hospice care. Extending beyond the borders of traditional healthcare, we treat the whole person and their loved ones in ways that touch the human spirit—adding days to life and life to days.
About
OUR MISSION IS TO BRING COMFORT AND SUPPORT TO HOSPICE PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGH PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES THAT ARE NOT COVERED BY THE TRADITIONAL HOSPICE BENEFIT. THESE SPECIAL PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE AT THE END OF LIFE AND TO SUPPORT FAMILIES THROUGH THEIR BEREAVEMENT PROCESS.THESE PROGRAMS INCLUDE THE PATIENT WISH FULFILLMENT PROGRAM, WHICH ALLOWS US TO FULFILL HOSPICE PATIENTS' FINAL WISHES TO MITIGATE THEIR SUFFERING AND ASSIST THEM IN ACHIEVING PEACEFUL LIFE CLOSURE. THESE WISHES CAN INCLUDE ASSISTANCE WITH CRITICAL NEEDS (E.G. FOOD OR RENT), LIFE ENRICHMENT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES (E.G. TRANSPORTATION OR ASSISTIVE DEVICES) AND MORE COMPLEX FINAL WISHES (E.G. FAMILY VACATION). THE FULFILLMENT OF THESE WISHES BRINGS PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, AND SPIRITUAL COMFORT TO PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES AND CREATES FOND LASTING MEMORIES. BECAUSE PUBLIC FUNDING FOR FUNERAL EXPENSES IS OFTEN LIMITED OR NOT AVAILABLE, OUR PATIENT WISH FULFILLMENT PROGRAM ALSO PROVIDES FUNERAL ASSISTANCE FOR PATIENTS IN FINANCIAL NEED.LEGACY PROJECTS HAVE PROVEN TO BE AN EFFECTIVE TOOL TO HELP FAMILY MEMBERS COPE WITH THEIR ANTICIPATORY GRIEF REACTIONS AND BEREAVEMENT PROCESSING. THEY ALSO PROVIDE PATIENTS WITH A SENSE OF MEANING. THESE PROJECTS CAPTURE LIFE STORIES, LESSONS, MEMORIES, AND TRADITIONS. THEY CONVEY WHAT PATIENTS WANT REMAINING GENERATIONS TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND ABOUT THEIR LIFE EXPERIENCES. THROUGH OUR LEAVING A LEGACY PROGRAM, WE CAN FACILITATE THE COMPLETION OF LEGACY PROJECTS SUCH AS MEMORY BEARS MADE FROM THE PATIENT'S CLOTHING, THUMBPRINT NECKLACES, RECORDING OF A DYING PARENT READING A STORYBOOK, HANDPRINTS OF EACH GENERATION, A FAMILY TREE, ETC.CAMP KANGAROO IS A WEEKEND-LONG BEREAVEMENT CAMP EXPERIENCE PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE TO GRIEVING CHILDREN IN THE COMMUNITY WHO HAVE SUFFERED THE DEATH OF A LOVED ONE.
