Hospice support for home caregivers

You Don’t Have to Navigate This Alone

At Ascend, we provide compassionate, individualized care for patients and families facing serious illness. When you begin considering hospice, you may feel overwhelmed by questions, emotions, and decisions. You show deep love and commitment as you care for someone at home, but that devotion can leave little room to care for yourself. You deserve support, too – there is also hospice support for home caregivers. Our team stands beside you and helps you move through this meaningful journey with guidance, comfort, and clarity.

Our care centers on the entire family. Your well-being directly shapes your loved one’s comfort and quality of life, so we make your needs a priority alongside theirs.

Hospice Support for Home Caregivers Eases Daily Care

Caring for someone at home requires physical strength, time, and constant attention. Ascend steps in with hands-on help and resources that lighten your load.

• Respite Care: You can take a break while your loved one stays in a safe, supportive setting for up to five days.
• Education and Training: Ascend nurses teach you how to lift safely, give medications, and prevent bedsores with confidence.
• 24/7 Access to Care: An Ascend hospice nurse answers your call anytime, so you never face urgent situations alone.
• Personal Care Assistance: Our aides help with bathing, grooming, and dressing several times a week.
• Medical Equipment and Supplies: We deliver and maintain hospital beds, oxygen, wheelchairs, and other essentials right in your home. These items must be related to the hospice qualifying diagnosis to be covered by Medicare.
• Care Coordination: Our team manages communication with doctors and pharmacies so you can stay present with your loved one.

Ascend’s hands-on practical care allows you to focus less on logistics and more on meaningful moments with your loved one.

Emotional and Spiritual Support for You and Your Family

Caregiving affects more than your schedule—it touches every part of your life. Ascend recognizes the emotional weight you carry and we offer steady, compassionate support.

• Counseling Services: Our experienced social workers help you talk through fear, grief, and exhaustion while learning healthy coping strategies. Your emotions are real, natural and valid.
• Volunteer Companionship: Trained volunteers spend time with your loved one, giving you time to rest or step away.
• Spiritual Guidance: Chaplains help you explore meaning, peace, and connection in ways that respect your beliefs.

You do not need to carry this experience alone. With hospice support for home caregivers, you gain a team that listens, understands, and walks beside you.

Guidance Through Loss and Beyond

Ascend’s hospice care continues even after your loved one’s passing. Grief does not follow a timeline, and ongoing support can make a meaningful difference. Our grief counselors and workshops are there for you for up to 13 months after your loss.

At Ascend, we remain here for you—before, during, and after this journey. When you feel ready, reach out. A compassionate voice will answer your call, listen to your concerns, and help you explore the next steps with care and understanding. Contact us or call 866.821.1212 to align the support that your loved one needs and to find the hospice support for home caregivers that you deserve.
