Caregiver Support Caregiver Advocates

Caregiver Advocates is a solution-based initiative aimed at supporting caregivers - those caring for an aging or ill family member, friend, or neighbor - at all stages of their care journey.

Through supportive and practical resources, we want to help caregivers feel confident in their role and their caregiving tasks. Caregiver Advocates was created to highlight the respect and compassion we feel toward the many unsung heroes caring for someone else.

Support opportunities are available for caregivers of those receiving care in our hospice and palliative care programs, as well as for caregivers of someone who is not yet at end of life. Regardless of your role, we want to support you.

“There are only four kinds of people in the world: those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who will need caregivers.”

– Rosalynn Carter, former First Lady

We were so impressed by your staff and your desire to help us. No one wants to need Hospice, but when a person does, it is a tremendous blessing. Thanks again for the care you gave my dad, and ultimately all of us.

I would like to say that you have a beautiful Hospice Home. It is so nice and serene. I love the “quiet spots” that you can go to and meditate. Thank you so much in helping make my mother’s last days on this earth a little better and comforting.
