Living Well in the Presence of Dying

Portland, OR   |  https://friendsofhopewellhousepdx.org/

Mission

We help people live well while dying. We have reopened our region's only residential end-of-life care facility under a new model of care. Goals: * Holistically serve the emotional, spiritual, medical and familial needs of residents. * Care for a diverse population inclusive of all ages, ethnicities, spiritual traditions, sexual orientations and financial means. Approximately 50% of residents will require financial support. * Become a center of learning, creativity, and wisdom about death and dying. Our unique cost-saving model provides a home away from home staffed 24/7 by nurses, with low resident-to-care provider ratios, and the highest capability of care. Collaboration with many health systems and hospice providers streamline administration and eliminate costs to operate.

Notes from the nonprofit

This start up organization has met its goal to purchase a property, become licensed and reopen Hopewell House as a residential care facility caring for people at end of life in just three years.
