Support for Caregivers

We offer a variety of resources for caregivers:

• Spartanburg Regional Hospice Home, our dedicated hospice hospital that provides short-term respite care to allow caregivers a chance to physically and emotionally re-charge. 
• Bereavement support for 13 months after the loss of a loved one
• Short-term grief counseling with a social worker or chaplain
• Referrals to community resources
• Educational forums
• Books and other resources for all ages from our bereavement library

Our bereavement services have a multidisciplinary approach: A member of our team – such as a social worker, chaplain or nurse – will call your family within a few days after your loved one has passed away. The primary caregiver will receive several phone calls for the first 13 months after a loss. In addition to phone calls, caregivers receive information by mail. Support is just a phone call away, and families are invited to call our office anytime they need support.

We also have special Service of Remembrance services every few months to provide a space and intentional time where families gather for emotional and spiritual support. Hospice families and caregivers receive an invitation by mail to these services.

Family members can also choose to memorialize or honor a special individual through a gift to the Spartanburg Regional Foundation. Your loved one’s name is engraved on a leaf, and then placed on the Tree of Memory inside the Spartanburg Regional Hospice Home.
