Bereavement

Family Pillars Hospice provides an organized Bereavement Program supervised by a qualified bereavement counselor who has documented evidence of education or experience in dealing with grief or loss counseling. The services are available to assist the patient and family in minimizing stress and problems that arise from the terminal illness, related conditions and the dying process. Bereavement counseling also extends to residents of SNF/NF or ICF/MR when appropriate and identified in the bereavement plan of care. Bereavement counseling is a required hospice service but is not reimbursable.
