We Help Individuals, Families, and Communities Live Well

Rainbow Grief Support is one of the most important services we provide. Our bereavement counselors work closely with anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one, whether on our hospice program or not. Their outreach takes many forms including phone calls, one-on-one visits, facilitation of regular support groups, a monthly blog, and hosting of special programs like our annual memorial service and holiday grief events.

Stop by our Rainbow Memorial Garden in Johnson Creek.

In 2022, we dedicated a newly designed Memorial Garden outside the Rainbow Hospice Care Inpatient Center in Johnson Creek. Among its beautiful features is a hardwood forest, many decorative plantings, granite benches, pergolas, a water feature, fire pit, and walking path adorned with 3,000 bricks of varying sizes, several inscribed with names and special messages to loved ones. Anyone is welcome to visit this sacred outdoor space to remember and honor the important people in their lives and gather for healing, reflection, and solitude.
