Your gift helps provide comfort, care, & support at end of life

We serve every eligible patient, regardless of their ability to pay. With a gift to Transitions LifeCare, you turn your care into comfort, your desire to help into hope, and your donation into dignity for a friend or loved one – and their family – at the end of life. We help patients live as fully and comfortably as possible and maintain a sense of dignity throughout their lives.

Leave a lasting legacy through planned giving

Planned giving, also called gift or deferred giving, involves charitable contributions arranged in advance through options like bequests, retirement assets, life insurance, stocks, real estate, or trusts. These flexible strategies help you support Transitions LifeCare while creating a lasting legacy, and we’re happy to collaborate with you and your advisors to align your plans with your personal and charitable goals.

Gifts Through Your Will or Estate

Planned giving, also known as gift planning or deferred giving, refers to charitable gifts that require some advanced planning before they are made. Some examples include philanthropic gifts through your will (a bequest), retirement assets, or life insurance. Others include gifts of appreciated stocks and securities, real estate and personal property, trusts, and pooled income funds.

A planned gift is a very simple way to support Transitions LifeCare. A variety of giving strategies can be leveraged to accommodate your specific needs and circumstances while building a personal legacy that will benefit our patients and families now and for generations to come.

Though we cannot provide legal and tax advice, we are available to work with you and your financial and legal advisors to establish planned gift arrangements that accomplish your personal and charitable objectives and maximize your legacy.

Indigent Care Program

This program allows Transitions LifeCare to extend all of our services to patients not eligible for Medicare/Medicaid, not covered by private insurance, and without other means of paying for services. This program also helps patients and families with emergency needs, such as assistance with paying rent or a utility bill.

Grief Center

This program supports Transitions GriefCare, which offers individual counseling and support groups for those who have experienced the death of a loved one and helps us serve grieving families, adults, and children. Grief counseling is offered at no cost to families served by Transitions LifeCare as well as any member of the community.

Endowment Fund

The Endowment Fund provides an important measure of financial stability for Transitions LifeCare by creating a predictable and steady source of income for generations to come. This income stream can be used to underwrite the cost of current programs, as well as respond to future needs arising from growth in demand for hospice care and expansion of our service area.

Transitions Kids

Transitions Kids offers various levels of care designed solely around the unique needs of children facing life-limiting illness. The goal is to provide home-based supportive care services for the child and family that are focused on enhancing quality of life by reducing physical and emotional pain and distress.

Moments of Support & Connection

From grief support to educational sessions and memorial gatherings, our events provide comfort, understanding, and community.
