Another observance this month is National Caregiver Month. According to a 2025 study completed by the AARP there are 59 million caregivers in the Nation. Their study included an in-depth look at the finical, physical, emotional, social and other strains placed on the caregiver.
The main goal of Hospice is to manage the comfort and symptoms of their patient BUT the second area of focus is on the caregiver. These caregivers play a vital role in the well- being of the ill individual. Their sacrifices allow a loved one to remain in a home-setting, have their needs met, provide companionship and many other necessities. It is important a caregiver feels comfort, able and full-equipped to do what is needed/asked of them. Our clinical team is ready and able to provide the hands-on training and education needed to care for someone with a life shortening illness.
