The Chattahoochee Hospice Bereavement Program provides support and guidance to patients and to their family members and caregivers for up to 13 months following the death of a loved one.
The program includes the following services:
Patients and family members receive an initial bereavement assessment that informs the plan of care and is included in the bereavement plan of care to ensure continuity and attention to the identified needs. Our chaplains and bereavement coordinator work closely with the other members of our patient care staff to ensure loss and grief needs are continually monitored and addressed.
The bereavement coordinator has an important role on the hospice team in making sure patient care staff is well versed in current loss and grief theory and normal versus complicated grief reactions and provide skill training on how to best support grieving patients and family members.
