Hospice of the Foothills is a community based non profit organization serving terminally ill patients and their families in Western Nevada County.
Hospice Services
Hospice of the Foothills provides a wide range of services:
• Pain and symptom management
• Emotional and spiritual counseling
• Professional nursing care
• Personal care
• Medications
• Bereavement support
We provide all services without ever charging a fee to patients. We work with Medicare, Medical and private insurance plans, but you do not need to be insured to receive Hospice care. Hospice services are provided to anyone in need, regardless of their ability to pay.
| Our mission is to affirm life and promote dignity for the terminally ill by providing comprehensive and compassionate care to the patient, their loved ones and the community. We strive to fulfill our mission every day, for every patient with a staff of dedicated professionals and volunteers. |

Donations
Donations from our generous community, revenue from Hospice Gift and Thrift stores and the outstanding fund raising activities of Friends of Hospice help subsidize Hospice services.
Volunteers
Volunteers are an essential part of Hospice. As a Hospice patient care volunteer you visit with our patients, providing them with companionship and offering caregivers a break from the difficult tasks of caring for a dying loved one. Volunteers also provide professional services such as a massage or hairstyling.
Our Gift and Thrift stores are staffed by volunteers. This is also a great way to help Hospice of the Foothills.
Friends of Hospice is another avenue for supporting Hospice.
Healthcare Providers
Hospice of the Foothills works closely with the patient’s attending physicians and health care providers to ensure continuity and quality of care.
