Bereavement Support
Bereavement support is offered to you and your family after the death of a loved one. Bereavement addresses the phases of grief and acceptance. Our bereavement coordinator provides one on one support to the patient’s family by providing home visits, phone calls and volunteer visits. We follow individuals for at least one year after the death to provide support and encouragement.
