How This Will Work

Designed and totally focused on care at the end of life
Complementary and unique to what already exists in the community
In a collaborative working relationship with the resident’s hospice/medical care provider
Not a hospital, nursing home, or medical facility
Inclusive and open to all people in accordance with admission protocols
Created by the local community for the local community
Fundamentally grass roots in nature
Independent and freestanding non-profit organization (East Mountain Foundation)
Funded by community and family support
Paid staff and volunteers who are “extended family”
