navigating healthcare resources

What is Transitions?

Transitions, a program of Hospice of Marion County, is a professionally managed, volunteer-based support system provided in the comfort of your home, assisted living facility, or wherever you call home; designed to assist those challenged by an advancing illness with a prognosis of one year or less.  Services are available to Marion County Residents at no charge thanks to funding through Hospice of Marion County and through the generosity of donors.

Why contact Transitions?

It can be confusing to know where to turn for help when coping with a serious illness and all the changes it brings. It is not unusual to feel hopeful one minute and discouraged the next. The Transitions staff knows that asking for help may be difficult for many people and many are unsure if they qualify. That’s why our self-assessment quiz gives guidance and understanding about how Transitions can help. You can take the quiz in the comfort of your own home—it’s completely confidential.

How do I begin services with Transitions?

You don’t need a referral from a physician; anyone can refer for Transitions services. You can also complete the quiz online and submit your results through our portal, or you can just simply give us a call at (352) 854-5200 during our normal business hours Monday-Friday, 8:00 am-5:00 pm or leave us a message and someone will get back to you the next business day.
