Your Family’s Role in Hospice
The family remains the primary support to the hospice patient. The hospice team recognizes how difficult the role of the caregiver can be and is here to guide you through the process. The hospice team can support the family or caregiver with practical expertise and education on pain and symptom control , living arrangements, identifying and meeting end-of-life wishes, financial considerations, access to community resources and how to take care of yourself. A unique feature of hospice care is the recognition that end of life care is hard work and the family and caregiver deserve our care, attention, and support during this time.
