Description
Who We Serve:
- Anyone facing terminal illness no matter what the prognosis or diagnosis
- Anyone coping with grief.
- An individual facing terminal illness needs the love and support of others. Their family and friends also need love and support. We are available when you need us.
Who We Are:
Hospice Support Care, Inc. (HSC) has been serving the Fredericksburg community since 1980. Our Mission is "to love and serve the dying and bereaved." As the only non-profit, non-medical volunteer hospice support organization in the Fredericksburg area, we provide spiritual, practical and emotional support to patients and their families in nursing homes, the hospital, or their homes.
Where We Serve:
- City of Fredericksburg
- Counties of: Stafford, Spotsylvania, Caroline, King George
- The Communities of: Colonial Beach & Lake of the Woods
What We Do:
Family Care volunteers provide non-medical services to terminally ill individuals and their families, either in the home or in an alternative health care setting. Our goal is to meet the emotional, spiritual, and practical needs of patients and their families.
HSC offers a bereavement program for adults, teens and children. Trained volunteers and staff maintain regular phone contact with the bereaved to listen, reassure and refer as needed. Skilled facilitators volunteer their time to conduct grief workshops for adults and children. Bereavement services are also open to the community at large.
Harbor House is a residential program of HSC. It is a home for up to two individuals facing the end of their lives. Our goal at Harbor House is to fulfill our mission while giving the highest quality care to our guests. (All guests will need to employ a Medicare-certified hospice agency prior to admission to Harbor House.) Click here for information on our Cat's Meow Village Piece.
Community Outreach is an important function of HSC. Speakers from Hospice Support Care are pleased to speak to your staff, organization, business or church group and present information on end-of-life issues, hospice, palliative care, and other related topics. |
