Make a Referral
A simple way for clinicians, community partners, and families to connect to services.
Comfort Homesake’s referral program strengthens community partnerships in end-of-life care by creating a seamless connection between clinicians, health systems, community organizations, and the families they serve. Our secure and trusted referral process ensures that patients and their loved ones receive timely, compassionate guidance for advance care planning, caregiver coaching, and culturally respectful support services. Through health system partnerships for caregiver support, we coordinate closely with referring providers to confirm goals of care and schedule the appropriate service line or training within two business days. Whether you are a social worker, physician, community health worker, or a family member seeking help, our referral team is ready to bridge the gap between complex healthcare systems and the personalized, culturally sensitive care your patients and loved ones deserve. Submit a referral today and take the first step toward ensuring no one navigates aging or end-of-life alone.
