The Transitions program provides emotional support and assistance to those coping with a life-limiting illness.

Our team of caregivers develops a plan of support and assistance tailored to the individual needs of each Transitions client and their family. Transitions services are provided to clients by a group of specially trained volunteers. Our volunteers help clients with the special needs that are present during a life-limiting illness.

Here are some examples of how our volunteers can help. We can provide: 

• Emotional support
  
• Family respite
  
• Transportation to appointments
  
• Companionship
  
• Walk the family pet
  
• Help with meals and errands

In addition, our Transitions team helps clients and families to adapt to the changes that accompany an illness. These changes can be difficult and confusing.

We link clients and their families to community resources as new needs and concerns arise.

For Transitions client Dorothy and her daughter Mary, the program has provided comfort, companionship and respite care. Mary has described the program as “a godsend” and shares, “Mom needs companionship. Just the boost your people give her is wonderful.”
