Building a Foundation for a New Standard of Care

We believe that financial circumstances should never stand in the way of compassionate end-of-life care.

The Solace Hospice Foundation was created to help make our hospice house more accessible to patients and families when they need us most. Through donor generosity, we cover room-and-board costs for patients receiving General Inpatient (GIP) hospice care.

General Inpatient (GIP) care is designed for hospice patients experiencing symptoms or needs that cannot be adequately managed in their current setting. Patients must meet specific medical criteria, as determined by our hospice physician, to qualify for this level of care under Medicare guidelines. Our hospice house provides a peaceful environment where patients receive around-the-clock nursing care and expert symptom management while their loved ones receive the support and reassurance they need.

While the hospice benefit covers the hospice services provided during a GIP stay, room-and-board expenses are not be covered by the hospice benefit.

That’s where our foundation steps in.
