Providence TrinityCare Hospice Foundation

PROVIDENCE TRINITYCARE HOSPICE & PALLIATIVE CARE WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1977 AS ONE OF THE FIRST HOSPICE PROGRAMS IN THE NATION. SINCE THAT TIME, WE HAVE PROVIDED THE FULL RANGE OF PALLIATIVE CARE, HOSPICE CARE, AND COMPASSIONATE SUPPORT TO MORE THAN 50,000 PATIENTS AND FAMILIES. IN 2001, WE CREATED TRINITYKIDS CARE TO HELP CHILDREN WITH LIFE-LIMITING ILLNESSES LIVE AS NORMAL LIVES AS POSSIBLE, FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE, IN THEIR OWN HOMES. TRINITYKIDS CARE IS THE ONLY DEDICATED PEDIATRIC HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE CARE PROVIDER SERVING ALL OF LOS ANGELES AND ORANGE COUNTIES.

TRINITYCARE AND TRINITYKIDS CARE OFFERS COMFORT AND CARE TO PATIENTS AND THE IMMEDIATE AND EXTENDED FAMILY. TEAMS WORK CLOSELY WITH PATIENTS AND FAMILIES TO CARE FOR ALL PEDIATRIC AND ADULT PATIENTS IN THE FAMILIAR AND COMFORTING SURROUNDINGS OF HOME. AT PROVIDENCE TRINITYCARE HOSPICE & PALLIATIVE CARE, WE UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF A SERIOUSLY ILL CHILD OR ADULT ON THE LIFE OF THE ENTIRE FAMILY.

THE PALLIATIVE CARE PROGRAM AND THE OUTPATIENT COMMUNITY (IN-HOME) PALLIATIVE CARE PROGRAM BOTH OFFER CARE FROM AN INTERDISCIPLINARY PALLIATIVE CARE-TRAINED TEAM FROM THE TIME OF DIAGNOSIS TO CURE AND SURVIVORSHIP OR TO HOSPICE AND DEATH. THE TEAM INCLUDES A PHYSICIAN, NURSE PRACTITIONER, RN, SOCIAL WORKER AND CHAPLAIN WORKING IN CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH THE PATIENT'S CURATIVE MEDICAL TEAM (MEDICAL ONCOLOGIST, RADIATION ONCOLOGIST, SURGEON, PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN, ETC.). NOT ONLY DOES THE TEAM PROVIDE SERVICES AS DESCRIBED BY ESTABLISHED NATIONAL GUIDELINES AND STANDARDS, BUT THEIR PARADIGM OF CARE IS BROADENED BY EMBRACING A RICHER SCOPE OF CARE KNOWN AS "WHOLE PERSON CARE." THIS PRACTICE ESTABLISHES PATIENTS AND FAMILIES AS COLLABORATIVE PARTNERS IN THEIR CARE EXPERIENCE WITH ALIGNED GOALS, MORE SUPPORT, AND THE HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS EXPERIENCING GREATER JOB SATISFACTION WHILE PROVIDING A HIGHER QUALITY CARE. IN 2017, A NEW COMMUNITY PALLIATIVE CARE PROGRAM WAS STARTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE KEIRO ORGANIZATION TO CREATE A REGIONALLY INTEGRATED, PATIENT-CENTERED, CULTURALLY SENSITIVE CARE SERVICE FOR THE JAPANESE-AMERICAN AND JAPANESE-SPEAKING COMMUNITY IN LOS ANGELES. DURING 2020, THE PROGRAM PROVIDED CARE TO 1059 PATIENTS.

BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT, VOLUNTEER SERVICES, AND EDUCATION IS PROVIDED TO FAMILIES FOR 13 MONTHS FOLLOWING THE LOSS OF A LOVED ONE ON HOSPICE. ADDITIONALLY, GRIEF SUPPORT AND EDUCATION IS ALSO AVAILABLE TO ANYONE IN NEED IN THE COMMUNITY WHO HAS SUFFERED THE DEATH OF A LOVED ONE FROM ANY CAUSE. PROGRAMS ARE STAFFED BY LICENSED PROFESSIONALS, GRADUATE-LEVEL MENTAL HEALTH INTERNS AND TRAINED VOLUNTEERS. BEREAVEMENT SERVICES SERVE CHILDREN AGE 5 THROUGH ADULT WHETHER OR NOT THEIR LOVED ONE WAS ON HOSPICE SERVICES WITH TRINITYCARE. IN 2020, THE PROGRAM PROVIDED SERVICES TO 2,872 BEREAVED COMMUNITY MEMBERS, WHO RECEIVED SERVICES THAT INCLUDED ONE-ON-ONE SUPPORTIVE EDUCATION, AND PARTICIPATION IN 15 NINE-WEEK LONG SUPPORT GROUPS TO HELP THESE INDIVIDUALS THROUGH THE GRIEVING PROCESS. OUR VOLUNTEERS OFFER COMFORT AND COMPANIONSHIP TO PATIENTS AND FAMILIES ON OUR HOSPICE SERVICE AND IN BEREAVEMENT. PROGRAM VOLUNTEERS ALSO OFFER COMPANIONSHIP, ART PROGRAMS, PET THERAPY, VIRTUAL REALITY, VETERANS' DAY REMEMBRANCE, AND OTHER SERVICES.
