St. Clair County Agency Spotlight:

Lakeside Hospice

When a terminal illness strikes someone in financial need, Lakeside Hospice is there to provide quality, compassionate care. The staff currently cares for a female patient in her early 50s who is suffering from COPD and is on hospice care. Her husband quit his job to become her full-time caregiver, and they struggle to make ends meet with limited income and no transportation. After a thorough review by a Lakeside Hospice social worker, the family is receiving assistance to help with utility bills, transportation and groceries. They are one of those families who lost almost everything due to a medical condition and inability to work. Lakeside Hospice aims to ease their burden, regardless of ability to pay, and supports an individual’s final journey with dignity and respect.
