Hopewell House reopened thanks to the giving of donors across the community. Donations now support today’s residents and staff excellence, make Hopewell House accessible to all, and ensure future services.
Why Give
Ways to Give
Hopewell House is for everyone at life’s end – all ages, backgrounds and financial resources. Our skilled care clinicians and volunteers provide the highest level of medical support and symptom management along with emotional and spiritual support in a home-like environment.
“We make a living by what we get, but make a life by what we give.”
– Winston Churchill
Why support Hopewell House
- Residential Care Facility: Hopewell House is the only Residential Care Facility (RCF) in the greater Portland Metro area, providing 24/7 compassionate care for those on hospice and in their final days.
- Financial Assistance: Fifty percent of residents receive financial assistance to spend their last days at Hopewell House. Needs include $200k in free or sliding scale financial support for residents each year, plus various equipment, education, and grounds needs.
- Innovative Model: Our cost-saving model of care provides physical, emotional and spiritual care, with low resident-to-care provider ratios (1:4). Collaboration with many health systems streamline administration and eliminate costs.
- Diversified Funding: Our residential care funding at Hopewell House includes private pay, long term care insurance, Medicaid, and health system contracts. Our Hopewell House Resident Care Assistance Fund provides for low- or no-income residents.
- Volunteer Team: Our 150+ active volunteers are dedicated to supporting our work in a variety of ways at Hopewell House, from providing compassionate care to our residents at life’s end, to tending our grounds, to quilting and serving meals. Our volunteer training program is mandatory, robust and evolving.
A Community Driven Focus on Individual Care
We are a community where people live well in the presence of death. We value a sense of belonging for all. 80% of people say they would prefer to die at home versus a hospital. 44% of hospice patients live alone. A Kloos Consulting study found that “Portland area senior population is expected to grow the fastest of all other measured areas throughout Oregon, at 58% from 2020 to 2040.”
Our Plans and Partnerships
Our long term plans include increasing our ability to serve as a broader facilitator around end-of-life issues and planning with collaborators and the general public. Partnerships include many hospice providers, Oregon Hospice and Palliative Care Association, Leading Age Oregon, Omega Home Network, and Partners in Diversity.
