Agrace Hospicecare Foundation Incorporated

CARE FOR ALL (CHARITY CARE): EACH YEAR, DOZENS OF OUR NEIGHBORS WHO CANNOT AFFORD HOSPICE, PALLIATIVE CARE, Age at Home, or the Adult DAy Center RECEIVE SERVICES AT NO COST THROUGH AGRACE'S "CARE FOR ALL" PROGRAM, funded by the Care for All endowment. Through the Care for All Program, WE SERVE SOME OF OUR MOST VULNERABLE COMMUNITY MEMBERS-CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS WITH NO INSURANCE, SENIORS WITHOUT CAREGIVERS, INDIVIDUALS LACKING SAFE HOUSING, AND THOSE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. While Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance cover the cost of basic hospice services for most patients, an increasing number of people in southern Wisconsin do not have enough insurance coverage for hospice when they need it. Since 2015, Agrace's Care for All program has funded care for over 600 patients, 102 of them were served in 2024 alone.

Community grief services: every year, thousands of people, including children, get support from agrace's spiritual & grief services to help them cope with the death of a loved one. Although grief support is required by state and federal regulations, it is not covered by medicare, medicaid, or private insurance. Community donations enable us to offer specialized grief support that is open to everyone. The foundation also supports agrace's free-standing grief support center which has allowed us to expand our program and serve many more people. In 2024, agrace's community grief program supported 170 students in 46 schools. More than 350 individuals found support through one-on-one counseling sessions, workshops, or support groups.
