Video Library: Hospice Training for Caregivers & Families


Welcome Caregivers and Family Members of Hospice & Palliative Care,

In addition to the printed materials we've given to the person designated as primary caregiver, we're glad to provide these videos to you and all who provide care to your loved one.
Click here to download and print a list of these videos for your ongoing reference. Make notes for yourself. Talk with your team members. Share information with other family and friends. Help them understand what your loved one may be experiencing, and what we're all doing--together--to tend your loved one's needs.

Primary Caregivers: While the information in these videos is more general for most hospice patients, refer to any more personalized training from and conversations with your hospice team members, that are specific to your family member's needs. Contact us if you see significant changes in your loved one's condition, have questions, or need to problem-solve concerns. We're here for you! Call us at 315-735-6484 or 1-800-317-5661.

Family Members: Especially when you are unable to meet with the team, these videos can help you recognize and understand what may be happening.  Each video suggests ways you can support both the person (patient) and the primary caregiver.
