Organization

ounded in 1985, Hospice of Queen Anne’s uses a team approach to serve individuals, families and the community with comprehensive, professional, and compassionate end-of-life care and bereavement support.  Over the years, Hospice of Queen Anne’s has served over 1,350 patients and over 2,870 family members in bereavement.  It currently tends to over 100 patients and 300 bereavement clients per year.
 
Hospice of Queen Anne’s serves any Queen Anne’s County resident who has been diagnosed with a terminal disease and whose prognosis is no more than about six months, regardless of age or illness.  Examples can include cancer, cardiac/renal/lung/Lou Gehrig’s disease, neurological illnesses, AIDS, cirrhosis, leukemia, dementia, and others.

However, in order to be eligible for hospice care, an individual must be seeking comfort, rather than a cure.  Most hospice services are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance plans.  Nobody is ever turned away due to inability to pay.  This is possible due to the generous donations of individuals, businesses, and community organizations.

Hospice services are offered at home, in a nursing home, assisted living facility, hospital, or, soon, in the future Hospice Center.  Hospice assists patients with pain and symptom control; it teaches families to physically care for the patient; and it provides physical, emotional, and spiritual support to patients and their families.  Hospice also offers bereavement care and counseling.

Our bereavement program provides grief education and support for any bereaved individual or family in the county, whether or not their loved one had been a patient.  These services include counseling, grief management classes, bereavement camp retreats, magazine subscriptions, an in-house resource library, and school based grief groups.

Where is Hospice of Queen Anne’s?
Hospice of Queen Anne’s is not a place.  Rather, it is care that meets you where you are.  Most patients would prefer to live the remaining days of their lives in their own home, surrounded by their loved ones.  Unfortunately, this is not always possible.  Hospice of Queen Anne’s can provide for dying individuals at assisted living centers, nursing homes, hospitals, or the new Hospice Center.  Some examples of locations where we currently provide care include:
