Individualized plan of care delivered through home visits, phone calls, and mailed outreach, offering warm, practical support for clients and their families. Hospice of Anchorage aids clients in gaining access to and utilizing needed medical, social, educational, and other programs and services. We work to meet the individual’s changing needs that will allow them to remain in their home of choice for as long as possible.
Chore and Respite Services
Through our partnership with HomeWell, we offer Personal Care Assistant (PCA) support for chore services and/or respite services. PCA services include a minimal, income‑based fee paid directly to the provider, while all other HOA services remain at no cost.
Chore services focus on helping clients remain safe and comfortable at home. A PCA can assist with non‑medical daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, light housekeeping, mobility support, and errands.
Respite services are designed to give families and unpaid caregivers temporary relief by providing substitute care for clients with declining physical or cognitive functioning. This allows caregivers to take intermittent breaks while ensuring their loved one continues to receive safe, attentive support.
Supplemental Services
We provide personal emergency response fall-alert systems and other assistive devices.
Volunteer Support
Our team of volunteer Compassionate Companions are dedicated volunteers trained to visit our clients in their homes or other living accommodations. They are compassionate individuals who provide comfort and support to clients facing a terminal diagnosis and ensure that the client and family’s needs are met in the ways they can provide.
End-of-Life Planning and Education
We have advance directive forms, power of attorney documents, Five Wishes, legacy project materials, and step‑by‑step guidance for what to do after a death. We can answer your questions about these documents and walk you through how to complete them, helping you understand each step and what to expect.
Grief and Bereavement
We offer regular, open grief groups, monthly classes, and seasonal programs to support individuals navigating loss. Families and loved ones of our clients receive grief and bereavement support for 13 months after a death, which may include letters and/or monthly phone calls.
