| Caring for a loved one who needs your help demonstrates the love, gratitude and honor you feel towards them. Yes, providing care to someone who is ill or dying can be exhausting, frustrating and thankless work, but caregiving can enhance your life in unexpected ways…it can strengthen the relationship you have with your loved one and give new purpose to your own life. To realize these rewards as a caregiver, it is important that you take care of yourself physically and emotionally and ask for help when you need it. “Let my traveling companion in tough times be someone familiar with rugged terrain, someone acquainted with struggle, not theory, someone bruised into insight.” |

We believe the needs of caregivers are just as important as the needs of the patient, so we will do everything we can to make your caregiving experience as stress-free as possible. The Hospice team will work closely with you to train you how to care for your loved one at home. Trained Hospice volunteers can stay with your loved one while you take a break. Volunteers can also cook, clean, take people to doctors’ appointments, and grocery shop. |

We care about you and we’ll help you through this. |
