Accu-Care Cremation is proud to be a sponsor of this fundraising event. In its 9th year, the Lightbridge 5k raises critical funds to support the foundation’s hospice programs in the San Diego area.
Hospice Care
Hospice provides terminal patients with the support and care they need as they are nearing the end of their lives. It also takes the healthcare role out of family members’ hands, a job that they all too often aren’t prepared to provide.
Hospice Care Options
There are a wide variety of hospice services that help reduce the burden and relieve the pain and stress that comes with a terminal illness. Hospice patients are cared for by teams of doctors, nurses, social workers, aides and volunteers around the clock. Individual programs are planned to maximize the comfort of every patient. The care is compassionate and nonstop.
Community Support
