Facing an end of life stage is a very emotional experience for a patient and their loved ones. Sometimes moving, other times devastating – the feelings that present themselves can be confusing and overwhelming, causing strain on even the closest relationships.
We know how important emotional support is for patients, family members and caregivers – which is why we take a comprehensive approach to hospice care through our Emotional Support Services. Whether coping with a terminal diagnosis, the demands of providing around the clock care or the loss of a loved one, we offer a supportive services and therapies that are tailored to meet the unique emotional needs for every individual and situation.
Our social workers are professionally trained to help you and/or your loved one cope with the many difficult emotions that are present during this stage. As the patient’s advocate, they also assist with identifying any needs and can provide guidance on available community and financial resources.
Our non-denominational hospice chaplains are available for spiritual support and guidance, teaching ways to cope, forgive, accept and heal.
Trained hospice volunteers strive to uplift the spirit through companionship and specialized therapies, including Reiki, music, massage and pet therapy. Each is designed to soothe and provide stress relief for both the patient and caregiver.
Even after a loved one has passed, your ViaQuest team is here to support the emotional needs of those left behind through grief and loss counseling, memorial services and support groups.
