What support is available for family caregivers?

Family caregivers play an essential role in hospice care, and our team is committed to supporting them throughout the journey. We provide hands-on training so caregivers feel confident managing medications, assisting with personal care, and recognizing changes in their loved one's condition.

Emotional support is equally important. Our social workers and chaplains offer counseling for family members who are coping with anticipatory grief, family dynamics, or the stress of caregiving. These conversations can happen during regular visits or through separate appointments.

Respite care is available for caregivers who need a break. Medicare covers short-term inpatient stays at contracted facilities, giving family members time to rest, handle personal matters, or simply recharge. This benefit is designed to prevent caregiver burnout and ensure sustainable care.

We also connect families with community resources, support groups, and practical tools to make caregiving more manageable. Our goal is to ensure that families feel supported, informed, and never alone in this experience.
