Dawn Hospice

Serving Trinity County Since 1992

Hospice Philosophy

The Hospice Philosophy affirms life.  It accepts death as the final stage of life and recognizes dying as a normal process.  Hospice does not attempt to postpone or hasten death, but to provide support and care for the persons and their families in the last phases of incurable disease so that they might live as fully and comfortably as possible.

Services

Volunteers of Dawn Hospice provide support, companionship and practical services to individuals and their families. 

  • Our services may include respite for primary care giver, support of family, education and reading materials, help with household chores, errands and companionship. We can provide information regarding other resources as well.

  • Though we are a non-medical Hospice, we can collaborate with your Health Care Provider, often acting as their eyes and ears in the home.

  •  We provide support through grief and bereavement.
