Depending on the patient’s spiritual or religious beliefs, Procare Hospice offers pastoral care services to address their psychosocial and spiritual issues that arise near the end of life. Our spiritual care also helps our patients and their loved ones to reflect on personal beliefs, relationships, and life choices and find meaning, comfort, strength, and hope amidst their life-limiting diagnosis.
At the request of patients and families, our pastoral care team will:
- Offer prayer and counseling with patients and loved ones
- Address unresolved issues and concerns related to patient/family spirituality
- Offer help in coping with feelings, such as loneliness, anger, fear, and the nature of the unknown
- Help contact the patient’s clergy if desired
- Facilitate receiving church sacraments
We will help you explore what death means to you, resolve unfinished businesses, say goodbye to your loved ones, and perform a specific religious ceremony or ritual if desired.
Our chaplain or pastor will work closely with other members of the hospice team, including the physician, nurse, aide, social workers, bereavement specialist, and volunteer. They are available to visit you and provide spiritual support at home.
