Hospicare & Palliative Care Services is a nonprofit organization operating in the Hospitals and Health Care sector, based in Ithaca, New York. The organization provides hospice and palliative care designed to address medical, emotional, and spiritual needs, with an emphasis on honoring patient wishes and improving quality of life during life-limiting illness. Hospice services are delivered in homes, acute or chronic care facilities, and a six-bed residential setting, and they extend bereavement support to families for 13 months after a loved one’s death. The palliative care program focuses on patient- and family-centered care, aiming to relieve the burden of illness, enhance quality of life, and support patient goals for comfort. In addition to direct clinical care, Hospicare offers community bereavement support to individuals in their service area, regardless of whether the death occurred under hospice care. The organization operates as a registered 501(c)3, and serves a regional community with activities including new staff appointments in recent years, such as bereavement counseling and volunteer management roles.
