Priority Funds: Our Most Impactful Areas of Support

At St. Augustine Health Ministries, your generosity brings comfort, dignity, and hope to those we serve—from young children to older adults and families facing serious illness. Whether you give once, monthly, or through a tribute or planned gift, your support creates a lasting difference.

Many of our most meaningful programs—such as pastoral care, art and music therapy, specialized dementia services, and end-of-life support—are not covered by insurance. Other needs, such as updated equipment, technology, and safe, comfortable environments, are essential to delivering the highest standard of care.

These funds reflect our most urgent and high-impact needs—ensuring we can continue offering the quality of care and compassion that define our mission.

 

 

Life Care Fund

Because dignity should never depend on a dollar amount.

The Life Care Fund ensures that no one is ever turned away or left without essential care due to financial hardship.

This special fund supports:

  • Seniors who have outlived their savings, allowing them to remain in their homes and receive the support they need to age with dignity.

  • Hospice patients who may not have insurance or who face unexpected end-of-life care needs due to age, job loss, or the weight of providing for a spouse and children.

  • Nursing home residents who are under- or uninsured, ensuring they continue to receive compassionate, quality care regardless of their ability to pay.

Hospice Care

Gifts to Holy Family Hospice support compassionate, end-of-life care for patients and families facing life-limiting illness.

Your gift helps provide:

  • Pain and symptom management tailored to each patient’s needs

  • Emotional and spiritual support for patients and their loved ones

  • Comfort items, bereavement resources, and therapies that ease the journey

  • Care for those without insurance or the means to pay

Whether it’s a quiet moment with family, the calming presence of a hospice nurse, or the reassurance of not being alone—your generosity makes this possible.

Area of Greatest Need

Support Where It Matters Most—When It Matters Most

Your gift to the Area of Greatest Need Fund helps meet the urgent and evolving needs across our senior living and hospice programs.

These funds provide critical, flexible support to:

  • Cover gaps in funding for seniors and hospice patients who are under- or uninsured

  • Maintain and upgrade essential care equipment and technology

  • Support daily operations that ensure safe, dignified housing and compassionate end-of-life care

  • Sustain meaningful programs like pastoral care, music therapy, family support services, and more

Walking

Towers Basic Needs

St. Augustine Towers Assisted Living offers a safe, supportive home for seniors 55+ to age with dignity. Most residents rely on Medicaid Waiver or PACE, which covers care and services—but not personal essentials. After paying for room and board, they’re left with just $50 a month to meet everyday needs such as: toiletries, clothing, medication co-pays, haircuts, snacks, cell phones, outings, apartment basics and more.

Your gift helps fill the gap—providing everyday comfort and dignity for those with the greatest need.

Capital and Technology Fund

The Capital and Technology Fund ensures that our facilities and systems evolve to meet the changing needs of those we serve—today and into the future.

Your gift helps us:

  • Upgrade Wi-Fi and clinical systems to support quality care and resident access to family, telehealth, and entertainment

  • Renovate aging spaces to ensure safety, accessibility, and comfort for seniors and hospice patients

  • Invest in modern tools and technology that improve care delivery, enhance communication, and streamline operations

  • Provide secure, adaptable environments that promote independence, dignity, and peace of mind

Whether it’s a new roof, smart TVs for residents, or critical system upgrades for nurses and caregivers, your support builds more than infrastructure—it builds quality of life.
