WHAT WE SUPPORT
Roots & Roads Community Hospice Foundation programs support individuals through the end-of-life process and provide education to the community about end-of-life issues.
Patient Supplemental Support
Roots & Roads is committed to providing support to hospice patients of limited means and their families. Support includes rent and utility assistance, personal items, food, and transportation.
Community Support
Roots & Roads provides bereavement books and journals to those grieving the loss of a loved one and participating in Casa de la Luz Hospice support groups, meetings, and classes, which are free and open to the public.
Roots & Roads also supports the We Honor Veteran’s program, which celebrates service members by providing special blankets from their branch of the armed forces as well as a framed certificate presented during a special ceremony.
End-of-Life Research
Roots & Roads supports projects which propose new approaches to care that improve the end-of-life journey.
Community Education
The Foundation seeks to educate the community through its annual End-of-Life Conference as well as other educational activities, promoting a quality end of life experience for all.
Advance Directives
End-of-life decisions do not have to be confusing.
