More about Goodwin Hospice

Rooted in the belief that every person has the right to die pain-free and with dignity, our approach to hospice integrates medical care with spiritual and other care services to meet your personal needs. We provide pain management and symptom control, personal care, social work services, counseling and spiritual support, and 24/7 on-call nursing support. Our additional services include friendly visitor volunteers, pet companionship, end-of-life doula, massage therapy and visits from Threshold Choir singers. We work as a team with patients and their families during every step of the process.

We put great emphasis on providing high quality, patient-centered care to our hospice patients and their loved ones. Goodwin Hospice received a 4-star rating from Medicare.gov in their February 2024 quarterly Care Compare Care Quality Report. This rating is the highest in the hospice category in Northern Virginia.

Support Our Hospice Fund

Financial obstacles can prevent someone from seeking and receiving care when they need it most. Thanks to the Goodwin Living Foundation, we are able to remove those obstacles so that our hospice team can provide care and comfort to anyone who needs it. Support from the Goodwin Living Foundation makes it possible for us to say “Yes” when patients and families need care or services. You can join our community of generosity by making a gift today and help us to say “Yes” to individuals in the community regardless of their ability to pay, and we can ensure that we will be with them every step of the way.

End-of-Life Doulas

When facing the end of life, we might benefit from having someone guide us through the transition. Goodwin Hospice offers end-of-life doulas to those under our care. Specially trained, non-medical professionals, doulas help us cope with death, in the days and months leading up to it, and in the time that follows as loved ones grieve. We can provide this service at no cost, thanks to support from generous donors to our Hospice Fund.

Massage Therapy

Many of us can understand the important of touch. A gentle hug, a hand to hold, whatever form it might take, touch offers connection and comfort. When facing our final days, receiving extra, gentle, loving care can make a world of difference. This is why Goodwin Hospice offers therapeutic massage therapy to those under our care. We work with massage therapists who bring special training to their care. And we provide this service at no cost, thanks to support from generous donors to our Hospice Fund.

Threshold Choir

People find power in song. Sometimes it inspires us. Sometimes it comforts us. Sometimes it brings us peace. Believing that song can sooth us in our final transition from life to death, Goodwin Hospice offers visits from Threshold Choir. They are non-profit organization that offers singers to visit people and sing to them in their final moments.
