Our commitment to caregivers is a part of what makes Crown Hospice of Cape Girardeau and Poplar Bluff so special. In home care wouldn’t be quite as comfortable for individuals needing end of life care if not for the aid of the compassionate caregivers that surround them.
We provide the following caregiver services:
Our bereavement services help caregivers get access to our free caregiver support groups where they can speak with other individuals in similar situations. We also offer bereavement counseling and grief therapy, and we open our grief counseling groups to the Cape Girardeau and Poplar Bluff communities.
Our care teams, led by registered nurses, deliver in home care services by traveling to your loved one, making sure that they are comfortable, and making sure that their needs are met.
Our faith-based, spiritual counseling services help give our patients, and those who love them, a place to talk about their emotions. Our chaplains are available to visit patients and families. They will offer them words of comfort and pray with them.
