It is our mission to provide compassionate hospice care and health care in the home and to enhance the quality of life in Del Norte County.
Witnessing a loved one's final journey through hospice care is an experience profoundly shaped by grief, even while that person still lives. For spouses and children especially, anticipatory grief often begins long before the last breath, unleashing a variety of emotions that can feel overwhelming and sometimes even confusing. During this delicate time, consistent emotional support becomes invaluable.
Hospice care - or caring for terminally ill individuals and their families during the final stages of life - dates back centuries; however, its modern form first gained momentum in the 1960s. Since then, hospice has changed how we view death and dying, focusing on prioritizing compassion, dignity, and quality of life. It has also changed the conversations had with and among family members during this sensitive time.
Caring for a loved one in home hospice can be one of the most fulfilling yet challenging experiences. Among the many hurdles caregivers face, insomnia is a common yet often overlooked issue. The combination of stress, anxiety, and the physical demands of caregiving can significantly disrupt sleep patterns. Scientists have been working hard to shed light on this issue and offer practical strategies to help caregivers find more and better-quality sleep.
