The Circle of Giving,
Our Nonprofit Foundation
Our foundation has four primary initiatives: community education, caregiving support, complimentary therapies and eventually a hospice house. These initiatives are ways we have served and continue to serve the community since 1999.
In addition to educating the public, we support patients’ onsite caregivers to keep their loved one in the comfort and familiarity of their own home, whenever possible. Federal regulations limit the scope of direct caregiving support a given hospice is able to provide, so we rely on our foundation to support us in helping the family acquire the resources they need to care for their loved one.
The foundation's funding provides a positive alternative for individuals unable to die at home. This alternative is called a hospice house.
Our mission is to enrich the quality of life for our patients and their families.
We believe that death is a natural part of life and we aspire to improve the physical, social, emotional, spiritual care and wellbeing of not only those at the end of life, but also their loved ones.
The Hospice House
Project for all ages
We have initiated the COLHF Hospice House project for the Washoe County area, an establishment that is the first of its kind here in Northern Nevada. Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance policies do not cover the residential services of a hospice house. Many older adults in our community do not have the means to pay for “room and board” at the end of life, nor have a caregiver to help them. It is our goal that this house will be free to those in need. It is only through charitable giving to the Circle of Life Hospice Foundation that the hospice house project continues to move forward.
