Hopewest

HopeWest PACE provided high quality care to more than 215 participants in 2024. With PACE, a team of health care professionals works with each individual to make sure needed services are coordinated. PACE programs get to know their participants and design services to meet each person's unique needs. The Center for Living Your Best houses a clinic, adult day center with activities and meals, as well as physical and occupation therapy opportunities that enhance the continued health and well-being of our participants. Our dedicated staff ensure each participant is provided with the medical and support services so they can be safe living at home for as long as possible.

Community programs is our third largest program expenditure. Services are offered to grieving adults through support groups and one-on-one counseling. HopeWest Kids provides grief services to children ages 3-19 through school groups, equine therapy, grief camps and art therapy. More than 1,080 children and adults were served last year. We also offer two different Palliative Care Programs. Palliative Care is for people with serious health conditions not yet eligible for hospice or are still receiving curative treatment. More than 240 patients were served last year. These programs offer a variety of specialized care to meet our patient's needs to gain back quality of life for them and their loved ones.

Retail Outlets- HopeWest operates retail entities to provide an opportunity for the community to know us before they need us. Heirlooms for Hospice is an upscale resale store featuring treasures donated by the community. Families of those HopeWest has served find comfort knowing the treasures they donate help support HopeWest. We have three different locations in Grand Junction, Montrose, and Delta. We also operate Spoons bistro and bakery located on the Ferris Care Center Campus in Grand Junction. While it serves patients and families who are in the Care Center, it is also a full-service restaurant open to the public. Proceeds from both Spoons and Heirlooms support the programs of HopeWest. Volunteer Services - People with a passion for helping others make our mission possible. More than 1080 volunteers gave 82,276 hours of time in 2024, adding a value of 39.5 full time equivalents (FTEs). Gifts of time are as unique as those who contribute. Volunteers change our world in so many ways. Through holding the hands of patients in need, providing art and music therapy to patients, supporting kids coping with grief, beautifying our gardens, creating a one-of-a-kind shopping experience at Heirlooms for Hospice, making our fundraising events special, and so much more. Volunteers are truly the heart of HopeWest.
