After someone dies under our hospice care, we stay connected with family members for up to 13 months. That includes grief counseling, support groups, educational materials on what grief looks like, and phone check-ins from our bereavement staff. Participation is completely up to you. We reach out after the death to explain what’s available and see if you want any of it.
Our bereavement coordinator contacts the family within two weeks of the death. They explain what’s available and ask about your interest level. If you want support, you get scheduled phone calls, invitations to group sessions, and mailed educational materials.
We're here beyond the immediate loss period
Grief often hits hardest months after a death when immediate support systems fall away. Our bereavement services fill that gap. Medicare also requires hospice programs to offer bereavement as part of the benefit.
If you worked with social workers or chaplains during hospice, you can continue those relationships through bereavement services if that continuity helps.
Hospice care is for patients with a serious illness whose treatment is focused on symptom management rather than cure, and who meet medical eligibility criteria as determined by a physician.
Yes, hospice care is commonly provided in the patient’s home when it is safe and appropriate, including private residences, assisted living, or other care settings.
Hospice services typically include nursing care, physician oversight, pain and symptom management, medications related to the hospice diagnosis, medical equipment, social work support, and access to on-call assistance.
Once eligibility is confirmed and the intake process is completed, hospice care can often begin within 24 to 48 hours, depending on the patient’s needs.
We provide guidance, education, and ongoing communication so caregivers understand what to expect, how care is managed, and who to contact when questions or changes arise.
Providing compassionate, professional, reliable home nursing care tailored to your needs.
