End-of-Life-Care

Meeting the physical, psychological, social, spiritual, and practical needs of patients and caregivers, this page will offer you a comprehensive guide to end of life care. 

End of Life Care

Hospice
Grief & Bereavement
Funeral Planning



Hospice

Hospice care involves a team of physicians, nurses, social workers, counselors and other professionals that help take care of terminally ill patients.  Hospice care can be provided at a residence, in a nursing home, or assisted-living facility, or wherever the person resides.



Grief & Bereavement

Death's closest companion is grief. The aching pain of bereavement can last for years. Fortunately, there are many support resources to help you heal.



Funeral Planning

Preplanning a funeral can offer family members peace of mind, as well as the opportunity to plan a meaningful funeral that reflects the unique life of the individual. Meeting with a local NFDA funeral director is a good way to ensure you have all of the information you need to make informed decisions, and that your wishes or your loved ones wishes are carried out.
