Supporting hearts and minds with compassion through every journey of care.

At EternaCare Hospice, our psychosocial services nurture the emotional and mental well-being of patients and their families. We recognize that hospice care extends beyond physical health—it’s about providing emotional strength, understanding, and spiritual comfort. Our dedicated social workers and counselors offer compassionate guidance, helping families cope with grief, stress, and major life changes.

Through empathy and open communication, we create a safe, supportive space where healing can begin. Families receive ongoing counseling, education, and resources to navigate each stage of the hospice experience with confidence and care. Whether through one-on-one sessions or group support, our team brings peace to heavy hearts and hope to those facing loss. With compassion at our core, we ensure no one walks this journey alone.
