Hospice Caring-A Different Kind of Hospice

CaringMatters provides social support services and community education, at no charge, so that no one dies or grieves alone.

We offer the Montgomery County, Maryland community, without charge, our:
-- Patient & Family Program: http://hospicecaring.org/patientandfamily.html
-- Adult Bereavement Program: http://hospicecaring.org/adult.html
-- Children's Bereavement Program: http://hospicecaring.org/children.html

** Patient & Family Program:
At Hospice Caring we celebrate life. Yes, we are a hospice organization, but hosp

ice care is a special type of end of life care focused on living, not dying. We honor and celebrate patients in their final days, providing the best possible quality of life, allowing patients and their loved ones to live fully with compassion and dignity. We are a non-medical hospice and we accept patients with or without a doctor's referral, and our patients may continue to receive curative treatments. We also work in conjunction with every medical hospice in Montgomery County, and our volunteer caregivers will visit homes, hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities -- wherever needed. Our carefully screened and trained volunteers working in our Patient & Family Program are available to:
-- listen, and provide insight and guidance,
-- discuss end of life goals,
-- lend a hand with day-to-day tasks such as shopping, babysitting, and carpooling,
-- engage in special interests and hobbies,
-- provide emotional and social support, and
-- help family members manage the practical details and challenges of caring for a dying loved one.

** Bereavement Programs:
We also offer peer-support bereavement groups, without charge, for adults and children. When a loved one dies, family and friends must deal with a wide variety of emotions, including pain, fear and grief. Although these feelings are natural responses to death, they can be devastating and overwhelming. Our bereavement programs provide an opportunity for grieving that is safe both physically and emotionally, where people can meet other individuals who are going through a similar experience, share their stories, learn from one another and receive much-needed support. For grieving adults, our bereavement peer-support groups are led by trained facilitators and meet in an environment that feels like a friends living room. We have groups specifically for those grieving the death of a spouse, parent, adult child, or loved one who died by suicide. For grieving children, we offer a group called the Good Grief Club to all students in elementary, middle or high school. The groups are held at the school the children attend. We also provide Camp Caring, a free camp for children who are grieving. More Information:
