Matthews House Hospice:<br />
Matthews House Hospice offers caring, compassionate support to individuals,<br />
care-givers, and loved ones facing a life-limiting illness or grieving a loss.
Matthews House Hospice is about life, about helping our clients live fully, every<br />
day, in spite of the incredible challenges they face living with a life-limiting<br />
diagnosis.<br />
We believe that knowledge and understanding from all possible sources, including<br />
the experiences of others, can lighten the load carried by client and caregivers.<br />
Matthews House staff and volunteers believe that meaningful, timely intervention<br />
integrated with medical and other community based supports can improve the<br />
quality of life for clients and caregivers. For this reason, the Matthews House<br />
program is broad and responsive to the individual interests and passions of our<br />
clients. With improved treatments, there are more positive outcomes, but the<br />
journey is no less traumatic.<br />
We believe that our support will be most effective when first contact comes as<br />
soon after diagnosis as possible. Sustaining and nurturing the caregiver is a part of<br />
everything we do. Our support also includes the bereaved, helping them cope<br />
during their own recovery period.<br />
