Disaster Assistance
Hospice Maui's Kokua Fund is currently accepting donations to provide crucial support and relief efforts in the aftermath of the devastating wildfires that recently swept through Maui. The funds raised will play a vital role in providing essential medical supplies, bolstering clinical teams, and offering trauma counseling services. Moreover, the donations will also assist in providing much-needed support to those who have been displaced as a result of this tragic event. By contributing to the Kokua Fund, you can make a significant difference in the lives of those affected by these wildfires. Every donation, no matter how small, will go a long way in helping the community recover, heal, and rebuild. Together, we can offer hope and comfort to those in need.
Room and Board Support
Hospice Maui Hale provides a beautiful place for our patients to spend their last days or weeks of life when they can’t be at home. At Hospice Maui Hale, patients receive our specialized compassionate care to meet their medical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs. Most health insurances cover the cost of hospice care based on the patient being at home. Because of this, it usually does not cover the additional room and board costs of staying at Hospice Maui Hale. The Hospice Maui Kokua Fund helps those who can’t afford to be in those settings but need the specialized care provided there.
Caregiving
Hospice Maui is committed to serving our patients and families in the setting of their choice. Most patients prefer to receive hospice services at home. The reimbursement that we receive from insurers, including Medicare, covers visits by professional staff that can include: nurses, nurse aides, social workers, spiritual care counselors, physicians, and trained volunteers. Sometimes caregiving assistance is needed beyond what family members, friends, and hospice services can provide, and this additional help is not covered by insurance. If hiring a paid caregiver is more than they can afford, the Hospice Maui Kokua Fund can make a big difference in their lives.
Other Specific Needs
The Hospice Maui Kokua Fund also provides financial support for patient-specific needs, such as offsetting the cost of higher electric bills due to an oxygen concentrator, or travel assistance for a family member to see the patient for one last time.
