Emotional Care

When your loved one is close to the end of their life, you might be tempted to relieve them of physical distress. However, tending to their emotional well-being is just as important. At Orange Hospice, we offer emotional support services to all our patients.

Emotional support involves considering a patient’s emotions, feelings, and thoughts. The support is given based on the individual needs of every patient in our care.

Our emotional care is based on the understanding that at the later stages of life, feelings like anxiety, anger, and depression can overwhelm patients. Additionally, they could have regrets about their lives, including things they never got to do or say.

All of these troubling emotions can have a major impact on the quality of their lives. At Orange Hospice, our staff have the training to offer emotional care. They work with the patients, listen to their concerns, and work to provide them with the best emotional care possible.

The families of our patients will also benefit from our emotional service. We understand that they may have anxiety and sadness about the impending departure of their loved one. They might also have other emotions that negatively affect their quality of life.

We also work to alleviate some of the tension that arises in a family in these situations. At Orange Hospice, our social workers have the expertise to handle these complex family dynamics. They can create plans to help families handle these issues to help them improve their emotional well-being.

Our team works with everyone concerned. We compassionately support their emotional needs. The support can take many forms, including counseling sessions for the whole family about the impending passing on of their loved one.
We will tell you how your loved one’s physical, emotional, and mental abilities will progress. Our staff will teach you how to spot these changes and how you can work to reduce their discomfort.
