LEGACY HOSPICE PROGRAM

Our Legacy Hospice program provides social and emotional support to critically ill individuals residing in their homes or assisted living facilities. This care is delivered by specially trained, dedicated volunteers who bring love, understanding and companionship. We focus on enhancing quality of life, ensuring individuals feel valued and recognized. Volunteers are carefully paired with clients based on the patient’s needs, interests, background and support structure. We work alone or alongside medical hospice providers to ensure a patient has all their needs met. In doing so, we provide much-needed respite for family caregivers, allowing them to leave the house for a few hours each week to take care of themselves or meet other household needs.

We’re here to help. Please call our offices at (805) 495-2145 or email office@hospiceoftheconejo.org and we will get back to you as quickly as possible.

GRIEF AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT

Hospice of the Conejo facilitates over 50 therapist-led grief support sessions each and every month. These sessions provide a safe, welcoming environment where participants can address the emotional and physical manifestations presented by grief. By placing clients in groups with others who have experienced similar circumstances, these programs foster a supportive environment that promotes healing and personal growth. This shared experience allows individuals to learn from each other, gain valuable insights, and ultimately move forward in their lives with renewed strength and resilience.

All of our grief support sessions are offered completely FREE of charge. BEFORE ATTENDING ANY OF OUR GROUPS, PLEASE CALL OUR OFFICE TO REGISTER. Groups available are:

ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS

N.O.D.A.

The No One Dies Alone vigil program provides specially trained volunteers to sit at the bedside of patients who are in their last hours of life and would otherwise die alone because loved ones are unable to be present. In many cases, NODA patients have no immediate family living in the area, or often have an elderly spouse who is too exhausted to remain bedside. A secondary comfort and service is to the nurses and caregivers at the facilities who do not have the time to stay with the patient.

Education Center and Lending Closet

Our Lending Closet is supplied with wheelchairs, shower chairs, walkers and many other items that are loaned to those in need COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE. We also provide a service to those who no longer have need for these items by taking them in as donations.

Hospice serves as an educational resource, providing information and guidance to families facing the challenges of terminal illness. We offer support in understanding hospice care options, navigating the decision-making process, and managing expectations. Our team provides daily assistance to those coping with the loss of a loved one, including access to therapist-led grief support groups. Additionally, we respond to unexpected crises and traumatic events that impact our community.
