Hospice Counseling

If your family is facing serious illness, you may feel frightened or confused. But as you are struggling with a new reality, hospice care means that you are never alone.  We are here to help you and your family find clarity, comfort and peace on your journey.   When  a loved one is very ill, many families want to express meaningful  feelings and to say good-bye when the time comes, but may not know how  to. Nonetheless, our counselors are here to help your family leave a  legacy of lasting memories that provide closure and comfort.

Whether your family members live locally or are long-distance  caregivers, our social workers bring your family together, help you  communicate feelings and concerns and provide reconciliation. This may  include reuniting estranged family members or helping someone write a  letter to communicate feelings that he or she has not expressed. Our  social workers also offer assistance in so many practical ways,  providing assistance with advance directives, living wills and  healthcare surrogate information. Additionally, they are here to help  you navigate complex billing systems and connect you with essential  community resources.

Each family has a unique set of needs and the possibilities for personal growth and closure during the final months of a loved one's  life. The ordained ministers and rabbis who serve as our hospice  chaplains help people of all traditions and levels of belief find  meaning as they review their lives. Whether you just want someone to  talk to without judgment, or you find comfort in religious rituals,  prayers and music, our chaplains can offer enormous comfort at this  deeply meaningful time.
