History of Hospice of Homer

Hospice of Homer was started in 1985 after Jean Hatfield, a community member experienced the caring support of a hospice program in another part of the country. She decided that we needed the same level of care in the Homer area. To lay the groundwork for the program, Jean formed a committee of community members, many of whom had experienced firsthand the stress of caring for a terminally ill family member. The founders envisioned a personal, neighbor-helping-neighbor program. Today Hospice continues to live out that vision offering a coordinated program of non-medical, supportive care that encompasses the physical, psychological, social, spiritual and emotional needs of those facing life-threatening illness or the transition process of dying. In 2000, Hospice of Homer added the Volunteer Visitor and Phone Friends Program. Hospice of Homer relies on community involvement and support. The Hospice Board of Directors oversees the management of the organization with volunteer members drawn from all parts of the community. There are two part-time paid staff persons coordinating direct client services, public outreach efforts, training of volunteers, the medical equipment loan program, support groups, fundraising efforts and office administration. Trained volunteers provide the majority of direct care services. Hospice of Homer Service Area

♻️ Help Us Put Equipment Back Into Service ♻️

We are currently in need of seated walkers, shower chairs, and quad canes. If you have any of these items at home that are no longer being used, we’d be grateful if you would return or donate them.

These items are essential for supporting comfort, safety, and independence—and your donation helps ensure they’re available when someone needs them most.

Thank you for helping us care for our community.💚
