Patients and Caregivers

If you or someone you love is coping with a life-limiting illness, finding comfort and peace can be a challenge. By addressing the symptoms, stress and fears most associated with life-limiting or terminal illness patients and their families can enjoy their time together. Our goal is helping terminally ill patients focus on what’s important to them. And that means tailoring care to each person’s needs and wishes.

Know Your Options – Care for a life-limiting illness can get complicated. Careline Hospice can help you sort through all your options and provide you the knowledge you need to make an educated decision about your care choices.

Pain & Symptom Management – In addition to physical pain and other symptoms, terminal illness can bring emotional and spiritual pain as well. We help you manage it all and provide you the support you need.

Caregiver Education & Training – Family members often worry about their ability to care for a terminally ill loved one at home. Careline Hospice experts support you as they teach you techniques to become a more capable and confident caregiver. We are always just a phone call away.

Managing Meds & Equipment – Medications, medical equipment and supplies related to a terminal illness are provided at no cost and delivered right to the patient’s home.

Help with Everyday Activities – Terminal illness can limit your ability to handle the routine activities of life. Our experienced hospice aides lend a helping hand.
