Mission: The mission of hospice of redmond is to enhance the quality of life for terminally ill persons and their families, to provide bereavement support for the caregivers and families of our patients and members of the community and to educate the community about end of life care.
Programs: Hospice of redmond provides compassionate hospice care to terminally ill patients and their caregivers. Services include in nursing visits at the patient's place of residence, pain and symptom management, aide assistance, social services, spiritual counseling, respite, massage, acupuncture and bereavement support for the caregivers and the community at large. Hospice receives funds from medicare and other insurances, but all services are available regardless of the patient's insurance or ability to pay. The money received from insurances does not pay for respite services, patient therapies, volunteer or bereavement services. Hospice works with other healthcare communities, residential facilities and foster homes to provide education and support about end of life care. Hospice provided comprehensive care to 250 patients and their families during last year. Over 7,000 hours of volunteer hours were utilized in performing the services of the organization.
