What services does hospice offer?

Hospice offers in your school, come out to your home and really make sure your symptoms are well managed. They have social workers who will provide additional emotional support. It's a very tough time for families going through this. Sometimes we don't know what to do or what to do and social workers are a valuable resource. The chaplain is there in case you need additional support. All of these services are not meant to replace family members or your local clergy but be there as an additional resource. There is a medical director who is available to make sure you get the pain medication you need, if you need a new prescription. There is also volunteers who can come by and sometimes in some areas they will help with little errands. Other times, they will just sit with a patient and family. But hospice has wonderful resources to make sure that this is an important time of your life.
