Family & Caregiver Support

When many people think of hospice care, they think first of palliative care. Physical support & management services are among the key benefits of hospice care, but they are just one aspect of the holistic way Golden Rule Hospice supports the health, dignity and well-being of patients and their families.

We provide a range of different support services that go beyond the physical, to also support and heal the mind and spirit.

These include services for the patient themselves as well as their families. Below, you can learn more about what we offer.

• Social Support

  We make sure that our patients are receiving the positive interaction they need at every level of care we offer.

• Volunteer Support

  Our trained volunteers perform a variety of services for the hospice patient. Along with helping us with administrative support, they also work directly with patients, offering companionship, care assistance, spiritual support, pet therapy, art and music therapy, and more.

• Spiritual Support

  We offer spiritual counseling with a deep respect for all belief systems and perspectives.

• Bereavement Support and Grief Counseling

  Coping with the loss of a loved one or the final days of life, can be a challenge for a caregiver. We offer bereavement support to help you through this difficult time.

• Family Support

  Golden Rule Hospice not only supports each patient with compassion, we support their loved ones as well.

• Counseling Support

  Along with bereavement support, we offer additional counseling services as you may need them. No matter what you or other members of your family need to talk about, our caring counselors are here to listen and to offer perspective and advice as requested. You are not alone through any aspect of this difficult time. A listening ear and a compassionate heart are always there for you.
