For Patients, Family & Community

Transitions program

When you or someone you love has a life-limiting illness, it can affect your life in countless ways. Normal, daily routines have changed. Sometimes it feels as if you need to learn a whole new language to understand what’s happening. It can be confusing to know where to turn for help. We understand and are here for you.

The Transitions program provides support by helping ease concerns and identifying community resources to assist you with healthcare issues. Transitions’ caring staff support you in the comfort of your own home by:

  • Helping you and your family better understand the disease process, treatment
    options and your goals for care
  • Assisting with important documents including Advance Healthcare Directives so your
    healthcare wishes are clearly communicated
  • Helping to create a care giving plan to address your changing healthcare needs
  • Identifying community resources to assist with financial concerns, emotional needs and
    practical support during this time of uncertainty

How Transitions Works:

    Transitions is available to anyone with an life-limiting illness which may include a one-year prognosis. Transitions’ professional, caring staff can help you, your family and caregivers create systems to help you feel more confident as you navigate through this challenging time. Services are available for three months with a nominal monthly charge based on a sliding scale.
