"An effective way to reduce stress and not feel so alone is to join a #caregiversupportgroup. On Facebook, there are many private groups dedicated to families who are caring for older adults...We share 13 top Facebook support groups for caregivers, describe each group’s focus (Alzheimer’s and dementia, aging parents, general caregiving, etc.), and explain how to join."

🙏 Caregivers are the true angels in disguise, spreading love and compassion. Whether it's tending to physical needs, providing emotional support, or simply being a comforting presence, caregivers go above and beyond to make a difference in the lives of those they care for. Their acts of kindness and unwavering dedication are nothing short of extraordinary. 💚 Today, let us acknowledge and express our deepest gratitude to all the caregivers who walk among us, always extending a helping hand and a gentle touch. Your extraordinary work embodies the true meaning of compassion and serves as a guiding light for all of us. 🙏 missourihc.com #Caregivers #AngelsInDisguise #HospiceCare #Compassion #Gratitude #Appreciation #SpreadLove #MakingADifference #KCHospice #MissouriHospice #KCMO #IndependenceMO

"Knowing that others are facing similar challenges helps us cope and feel less alone. We share 2 personal stories that discuss emotional subjects close to the hearts of many caregivers: how to accept declining health and finding joy in small things even when caring for two people at once."

🤔 Did you know? Hospice patients, who are admitted early, live an average of 29 days longer, in more comfort, and have a higher quality of life? Hospice care is far more than mere treatment for people facing terminal illnesses. Hospice is a philosophy of care specializing in easing pain, discomfort, and distress that patients and their families deal with.

"I don’t know how I would’ve traveled her journey to the end of her life without hospice care. It gave me the ability to give my grandmother a final gift: a peaceful passing in our home surrounded by family instead of a cold hospital room perhaps even alone. That is something you just can’t put a price on." Read more: https://lnkd.in/gwgknZTf #hospice #hospicecare #hospiceathome #caregivers #familycaregivers #endoflife #hospicecarejourney

🇺🇸 Today, on this special day of Independence, we at Missouri Palliative & Hospice Care would like to extend our warmest wishes to all of our patients, their families and friends, and the brave veterans who have served our country. The sacrifices you have made to serve and protect our nation will never be forgotten. Thank you for your service! 🙏✨ As we celebrate our freedom, let us also remember those who are no longer with us and cherish the memories of their lives. May this 4th of July bring you joy, happiness, and peace. #HappyFourthOfJuly #HospiceCare #ThankYouVeterans #CelebratingFreedom #MissouriHospice #KCMOHospice

🇺🇸 Our nation’s veterans deserve a higher degree of care that should be reflected in their hospice care. How does hospice care provide comprehensive care for veterans and their loved ones as they enter this new chapter of life? https://lnkd.in/gx5utPhm #veterans #veterancare #va #hospicecare #veteranshospicecare #missourihospice #kchospice #kcmo #wehonorveterans

🎆🇺🇸Although fireworks are a sign of celebration and a familiar sight during the summer months — Memorial Day through July Fourth, what you may not realize is that fireworks can alarm your loved ones with dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease. 🧨 This Fireworks Safety Month, we wanted to take some time to talk about fireworks safety for one of our most vulnerable populations — people in hospice or palliative care: https://lnkd.in/eDB-5eA #fireworks #fireworkssafetymonth #palliativecare #hospicecare #kchospice #missourihospice #KCMO #IndependenceMO
