Pathways

Pathways Providing Care Navigation, Hospice, and Bereavement services to the Greater Lakewood/Long Beach community - all at no cost - for nearly 40 years

A community-based 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit organization, Pathways has been a part of the Greater Lakewood/Long Beach area since 1985. Through our three-part “Circle of Care”, we service those facing some of life’s most difficult challenges by providing (1) Volunteer Care Navigation for the frail, older adults, and chronically ill, (2) Hospice Care for clients and their families experiencing a term

inal illness, and (3) Bereavement Counseling and Support for children, adults, and families in grief. We do all of this at no cost, eliminating barriers to service for our clients and their families. Pathways has always been a ray of hope in a sea of confusion, heartache, and healthcare red tape.
