Our program is primarily based in the home. Many terminally ill patients prefer receiving care in the comfort of their home and with the involvement of family and friends. Care can also be provided in an alternative home, such as an adult foster or nursing home. Inpatient care is also available at Hopewell House Hospice Center , a 15-bed facility that is a program of Legacy Visiting Nurse Association and Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon . Services available include intermittent skilled nursing, social work, therapy, home health aides volunteers and pastoral counseling.
Services are available in many northwest Oregon counties.
Bereavement support for adults and children is available individually or in groups. The sooner the hospice team becomes involved, the more we can assist in providing physical and emotional comfort. Hopewell House Hospice Center is staffed by a dedicated group of people, drawn from the resources of Legacy Visiting Nurse Association and Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon, who are focused on making the lives of those who come to stay more comfortable, safe, and fulfilled. Specially trained staff members are skilled in the unique needs of hospice patients as well as the emotional, spiritual and practical concerns of residents, families and friends. Patients also receive support from a group of highly trained and dedicated volunteers.
