Caregiver help
The Hospice Services of St Joseph Health value family members as part of the caregiving team and as an integral part of the unit of care.
In addition to supporting the patient, we acknowledge that support for the caregiver is also crucial. We present options for the patient based not only on what he or she needs, but also on the needs and capabilities of family members. Our social workers and chaplains are available to support the caregiver through challenging issues that may arise when a loved one is seriously ill. We have trained volunteers who can come to the home for a few hours and visit with the patient providing support and relief.
If the family caregiver should experience an illness or emergency during the course of hospice care, hospice can often arrange for the patient to stay for a few days in a local nursing home until another family caregiver can be put into place.
Upon the death of the patient, we will come to the home to support the family during this poignant time and provide support for the “next steps”.
Recognizing that grief is a natural response to loss, we offer individualized grief support services to the family as well as the community at large.
