Transitions
Request information about our services
Transitions is a new program to help those facing a life-limiting illness and their family. The Transitions Coordinator and trained volunteers will provide emotional support, assistance connecting with community resources, and practical help. Transitions services are free, thanks to generous community donations.
Who is eligible?
- Anyone with a serious, life-limiting illness with a prognosis of one year or less
- Individuals that have become less able to care for themselves independently and would benefit from assistance with finding community services to meet their needs and/or volunteer services
How does it work?
The Transitions Program Coordinator meets with the clients and their families to determine what their needs are, researches available resources and puts the client and family in contact with appropriate existing community programs. The coordinator continues to follow up with the families to see that the resources are beneficial and to evaluate for any new needs that may come up.
What are the benefits of the Transitions Program?
- Trained volunteers can provide respite breaks for caregivers, provide companionship for clients, or help with light housekeeping or meal preparation.
- No charge to clients and families
- Reduces loneliness and isolation
- Coordination of services that follow, monitor, evaluate and report client changes to physicians
