Grief counseling and bereavement services are offered upon admission, are provided throughout the course of hospice care for the patient, and are extended following the patient’s death.

Similarly, spiritual counseling through staff and volunteer clergy, and often other supportive individuals, helps meet needs that may not otherwise be recognized in some healthcare sectors. These critical areas of counseling, coupled with the other aspects of care, help patients and their loved ones achieve important goals when facing end of life issues.
