For decades, The Washington Home & Community Hospices operated the only in-patient hospice facility in Washington, DC, housed in a wing of its nursing home in upper Northwest. Recently the organization closed that facility and transitioned to a charitable foundation named The Washington Home, with a mission to fund initiatives that support the elderly and those in need of end-of-life care.

The Washington Home, a charitable foundation, donated $1M to Iona Senior Services (IONA), to support construction of their new adult daycare center in Ward 8 set to open in Fall 2020. The facility will be called Iona - The Washington Home Center.
