Organization Mission:

Delaware Hospice supports every individual, family, and community with compassionate, expert care for serious illness. We provide advanced illness management through our programs and services: Delaware Hospice, Delaware Palliative, Delaware Hospice Center, Katybug Pediatric Program, Bereavement, and New Hope.

As a community hospice, our mission is to support every individual facing a serious or life-limiting illness with compassionate, expert care. Your donations ensure that no one who is medically eligible for services is ever turned away for inability to pay.

Since 1982, donor support has helped us grow as an innovative healthcare organization that provides holistic support through providing hospice care at home or within our inpatient center, supporting patients during treatment for a serious illness with palliative care, connecting individuals and families with community resources, and comforting individuals and their loved ones near the end of life's journey. 

Our programs and services include Delaware Hospice, Delaware Palliative, Delaware Hospice Center in Milford, Katybug pediatric hospice program, Dementia Care Program, and Grief Support—which includes our New Hope children's grief support program and Camp New Hope.

About Delaware Hospice

We are more than just Hospice.
Delaware Hospice offers many different programs designed to meet you and your family at any stage of serious illness.

Delaware Hospice helps patients and families focus on their time together and get back to what’s important. In addition to attending to your family’s practical and physical needs, our trained specialists help you navigate any emotional and spiritual concerns that may arise in the face of a life-limiting illness. 

Delaware Palliative offers relief to seriously ill patients who are receiving active, curative treatment. Assistance is provided to identify goals of care and manage symptoms while dealing with the physical and psychosocial burdens of a serious illness.

The Delaware Hospice Center in Milford is the first of its kind in Delaware, providing comprehensive, specialized, 24/7 care to patients in need of critical, short-term symptom management.

Katybug our pediatric program, helps children facing a serious illness live well while improving their quality of life and helping their families cope with the challenges and feelings that are a natural part of their journey.

Dementia Care Program offers education, resources, and compassionate support tailored to the specific challenges of living with dementia and for those providing dementia caregiving.

Grief Support is offered to all family members before and after a loved one passes and continues for thirteen months after loss through a variety of workshops and support groups. 

New Hope, our children and teen bereavement program, targets children struggling with an expected or unexpected loss. Camp New Hope allows campers to meet others going through similar experiences and interact in traditional and bereavement activities.

It's never too early to call. Let us help you so you can focus on what matters.
