SUPPORTING OUR CAREGIVERS

“As a caregiver, I had to remind myself that I needed to be stronger, I could not show my weaker side to her, or both of us would crumble.”

Read more about Mdm Florence’s story

Dover Park Hospice’s social work and therapy services differ from that of hospital care by addressing the whole person—physical, emotional, social, and spiritual—to reduce distress and promote acceptance. They offer tailored psychosocial therapies and support families in managing caregiving challenges, adapting care to individual needs and confronting deep concerns like hopelessness and death anxiety.
