Program Details
At Southwest Christian Care, our mission is to glorify God by honoring the sanctity and dignity of life. We strive to provide physical, emotional, and spiritual care to our patients and their families, offering hope rooted in faith in Jesus Christ as Lord of life and death.
The hospice care we provide extends beyond the patient to include vital support for their families, both before and after the loss of a loved one. Southwest Christian Care offers support in the following ways:
• Emotional Support: Our nurses and social workers stay in touch with family members as needed, providing emotional care through personal contacts and written materials designed to help them cope with grief and loss.
• Chaplains: Experienced Chaplains visit patients regularly and are available to provide support whenever special needs arise. We honor and respect the beliefs of every patient and family member, regardless of their faith or spiritual background.
• Bereavement Visits: Family members are offered calls or visits following the loss of their loved one to ensure they feel supported during their time of grief.
• Bereavement Correspondence: Families receive encouraging correspondence during the first year after their loss. These materials are designed to help individuals navigate grief and the mourning process.
• Short-Term Bereavement Counseling: We offer short-term counseling to assist families and individuals with issues related to grief, loss, trauma, family stress, and other life challenges. This service is provided at no cost and is available by appointment.
• Grief Support Groups: These support groups provide a safe and affirming space for individuals to connect with others experiencing similar grief and loss. Open to the entire community, these groups are available at no cost.
