 Pines
of Peace Mission Statement
We open our
home, hearts, and hands to our residents. We provide physical care and
emotional support for them, their families and friends.
About the Home
The Pines of Peace is a residence for the terminally ill. Our
priorities are pain and symptom relief, along with emotional and spiritual
support for both the resident and the family.
We provide a comfortable, warm, alternate living arrangement for those
individuals who have been deemed beyond curative care by their physician.
This is an inter-faith, inter-community ministry that exists to share the
journey with our residents, their families and loved ones.
Referrals may come to us from various sources such as physicians, social
workers, health care agencies or individuals. Please feel free to share
our information with others by using our
flyer.
Our two bed capacity is open, free of charge to anyone who meets the
following criteria:
-
Need
-
Physician's belief that an individual is in the last three months
of his/her life.
We do not hasten or postpone death, but provide a setting where it
can be approached as symptom free as possible and treated as a natural
part of life.
Our residents and their families actively participate in the
decision-making process pertaining to care.
Pines of Peace staff consists of professional
nurses and certified aides. Trained volunteers lovingly do bedside
care and a multitude of tasks that keep the house and grounds tidy.
The Pines of Peace is a privately incorporated, not-for-profit home which
does not charge for services. Income is generated by community
support, donations, grants, and memorials.
Pines of Peace has a 11 member
Board of Directors,
which provide specific expertise in assisting with the day-to-day
operations of the home.
However, the heart of Pines of Peace is the volunteers who give so
generously of themselves. Many are needed. We provide
training and support for those who commit themselves to this ministry.
