Hospice Giving Foundation believes in living fully and dying peacefully. Our community-based support promotes personal choice, preparedness, and the highest standards of compassionate, dignified end-of-life care for individuals and their loved ones.
Hospice Giving Foundation is proud to announce The Siobhan Greene Care and Dignity Fund honoring our former CEO, Siobhan Greene. Siobhan’s commitment to our mission touched countless lives as she advocated for dignity, comfort, and support for individuals facing end of life.
Types of funding include:
Caregiver Support: To address the emotional, financial, and physical demands of caregiving such as stipends to provide respite or intermittent care, meal preparation, and/or psychosocial support.
Transportation: Assistance for family who would not have the means to travel to be with their loved one at the end of life; transportation and/or gas stipends to medical appointments.
Funeral Assistance: Including the transportation of patient remains to Mexico.
Grief Support: Especially in the event of a traumatic death whereby the patient’s family was not receiving bereavement care.
Services: To create safe environments for patients who are being discharged from a hospital to die peacefully at home.
Central Coast VNA & Hospice offers 24/7 care through a dedicated team of nurses, physicians, and social workers, ensuring tailored support for each patient's unique needs. Over the years, HGF has recognized the specific requests that matter most to our patients, helping VNA raise the standard of compassionate, clinical excellence. The Siobhan Greene Care and Dignity Fund addresses the profound challenges faced by patients and families in hospice and palliative care. While many express their support through thoughts and prayers, Hospice Giving Foundation is actively creating meaningful change. Together, we can profoundly impact the lives of those navigating these challenging journeys.
