A Different
Kind of Hospice
Hospice Caring, Inc. is a
prototype for what non-medical and bereavement care should be
for those facing life-threatening illness or grieving the death
of a loved one. It is the only non-medical
volunteer hospice in Montgomery County. Since 1989,
Hospice Caring's trained volunteers have provided practical and
emotional support to terminally ill adults and children and
their families, and to people grieving the death of a loved one,
at no charge.
The Cottage, with its unique
history, serves as a resource center for Hospice Caring staff,
volunteers, and the community. In this capacity, The Cottage hosts support groups,
volunteer trainings, holiday parties, and meetings.
It also houses program staff and their offices.
Hospice Caring's
Patient and Family program offers practical and emotional
support to people in the darkest times of their life.
Adult bereavement support groups
are available throughout the county. Children's
bereavement programs include the
Good Grief Club,
an in-school program available to all elementary, middle, and
high school students, and
Camp Caring, a weekend camp for children ages 8 to 14.
All services and programs are
offered at no charge to the patients and families we
serve. It is the support of caring individuals and companies
from the community that makes Hospice Caring possible. If you

"A regular
hospice helps people to die comfortably, but Hospice Caring
helps people to live to the fullest in the time they have left."
