ALTERNATIVE LIVING ACCOMMODATIONS

When it becomes impossible to live alone, a number of alternative living arrangements are available to help maintain an independent lifestyle. These programs have varying levels of support and services, but they all share the goal of providing ways to live safely and independently outside of an institutional setting like an Adult Care Facility or Nursing Home.

Support can include: meal preparation, communal dining, housekeeping, social activities, assistance with financial management, transportation service and assistance with long term care planning. Some of the programs are subsidized by public funding, and each program has a specific method of payment which you should ask about when you contact them.

Terminal Care

Terminal care is designed to provide medical, social and spiritual support to those who are dying. Most programs expect a participant to have a prognosis of three to six months duration, and also have a comfort care approach. People in this phase of life usually do not require hospitalization, but will require specialized care from these programs.

Payment source varies, and many health insurance policies often cover much of the cost.

Home Hospice

  • GRHC: 325-1880
  • VNS: 787-2233

Family Hospice

  • Most nursing homes will accept terminal care patients
  • Some nursing homes contract with GRHC or VNS for a formal Hospice program (see services chart)
  • Both GRHC and VNS maintain beds at various in-patient facilities (i.e. GRHC Hospice at St. Marys). Arrangements must be made through GRHC or VNS.

Comfort Care Homes

These volunteer run homes are able to provide terminal care to two patient-guests at a time. Services can continue to be provided through GRHC or VNS.

  • Advent House: 223-6112
  • Elisha House: 482-8852
  • Isaiah House: 232-5221
  • Mt. Carmel House: 458-6508
  • Sunset House: 467-3524
