While Zen Hospice serves clients who are living at home, they also serve adults through their residential program who cannot remain at home. Residents are referred by hospitals and health care providers, evaluated prior to admission and informed about the nature and goals of hospice services. The Zen Hospice Project operates on a model that transcends charity work, by encouraging and supporting a mutually beneficial relationship between volunteer caregivers and people who are dying. In caring for the dying, volunteers have the opportunity to examine their own relationship with death. In turn, members of ZHP's volunteer community offer residents a quiet place of grace and dignity.
