Emotions have a significant impact on physical health. That is why United Hospice strives to enhance the quality of life for our patients and their families when time matters most.
Our social workers support patients and their families through the many challenges they face:
- Help families to communicate effectively with each other during difficult times.
- Teach relaxation techniques to help decrease anxiety.
- Locate community resources to help improve their quality of life.
Our spiritual caregivers offer:
- Comfort and emotional support to both patients and their families.
- A shoulder to lean on and a compassionate ear during difficult conversations regarding the end of life.
- An alternative for patients who may be unable to attend their usual houses of worship or meet with their usual spiritual advisors.
Our wonderful volunteers are compassionate helpers who often:
- Visit and read to residents, or simply provide company.
- Run an errand for caregivers to help reduce their stress.
- Provide support to patients and family on a difficult day.
- Help with a household chore so that families can spend more time together when time matters most.
