How do you help people in my community?

Hospice means living as you choose to live. Montgomery Hospice helps you and your family to:

  • Participate in decisions about your care
  • Maintain a sense of control, usually in your own home
  • Reach an improved level of physical, emotional and spiritual comfort
  • Find answers to questions about the course of the illness
  • Obtain needed equipment, supplies and medicines
  • Receive practical assistance with day-to-day living
  • Learn skills to confidently provide care
  • Understand that help is always available -- 24-hours a day, seven days a week
  • Reach out to others affected by the illness and impending loss
  • Know that care will be provided regardless of insurance coverage or ability to pay

    • Why do you need my support?

    As a private, community-based nonprofit organization, Montgomery Hospice and its foundation rely on community partnerships. Donations from individuals, businesses, foundations, community and religious organizations help cover the cost of providing care to those who would otherwise face the end of life with little help.

    For more information about opportunities for giving, contact the Montgomery Hospice Foundation office at (301) 279-2566.
