Your Support Sets Us Apart

The Washington Home began in 1888 through the foresight and generosity of volunteers and donors. We are grateful for the continued philanthropy that has benefited the people and families of the communities we have served for more than a century. Your support allows us to maintain and continue the high quality standard of care that forms the foundation of our work.

The Washington Home is a non-profit, 501 (c) (3) organization. In addition to The Washington Home, our organization includes Community Hospices (Community Hospice of Maryland, Community Hospice of Virginia, and Community Hospice of Washington) and The Washington Home Center for Palliative Care Studies, our research and quality improvement group that is dedicated to helping improve the quality of life near the end-of-life.
