However, the support provided doesn\u2019t disappear when the patient passes away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bereavement services are part of the Medicare hospice benefit, and families of patients with Medicaid or private insurance can also access bereavement support. From the moment of a loved one\u2019s admission to hospice, you and others who are grieving can get the help you need to move forward. And, the support provided doesn\u2019t disappear when the person you hold dear passes away \u2013 services can continue for up to 13 months after their death.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleveland hospice care providers offer a range of bereavement services to help people cope with the loss of a loved one. Families can benefit from:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grief information and educational resources<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over-the-phone and in-person guidance<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Connections with local grief support groups<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assistance with memorial service planning<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commemorative activities, like tree planting<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specialized services for children and teens<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hospice bereavement services help those left behind find a way to keep going. Accepting the reality of the situation, working through the intense pain and adjusting to life with a loved one absent can be incredibly difficult, and hospice care professionals understand how to help people move through the grieving process.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Who Provides Hospice Bereavement Support?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hospice care agencies have specialists on staff who are trained and experienced in providing bereavement services. Along with physicians, nurses, therapists, hospice aides and volunteers, they\u2019re members of the hospice team, and their role is to provide emotional guidance. Grief support may come from a number of specialists, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bereavement coordinators, who identify those in need of grief counseling and coordinate the plan of care<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hospice chaplains, who offer comfort and help people find peace and meaning in the end-of-life experience<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hospice social workers, who guide people in coping with complex emotions and in finding community resources<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grief is an individual journey, and services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each person in mourning. Bereavement specialists can offer support both in advance of a loved one\u2019s death and for more than a year after their passing. After all, sorrow doesn\u2019t always begin after a loss, and for those experiencing anticipatory grief, support is available.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Do Families Access Bereavement Services?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once an individual decides to enter hospice, a plan of care is established. This spells out the specific services and types of support to be provided, and since no two people have the same care needs, the plan is personalized. However, Medicare-approved hospice care providers like Suncrest always offer the option of including bereavement services for surviving family and friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After conducting an assessment of those close to the hospice patient, a bereavement coordinator works to find resources and solutions to support everyone as they move through the grieving process. Services are provided at no cost to the patient or the family, and the bereaved can reach out for additional support at any time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for a hospice care provider you can trust to assist with a loved one\u2019s end-of-life journey, Suncrest Hospice of Cleveland is the one to call. Our team of professionals makes every effort to help the incurably ill live out their remaining time in peace and comfort, and we\u2019re here to help their friends and families along the path of healing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Suncrest, we understand how the loss of a loved one can have a huge impact on everyone left behind. While all Medicare-approved hospice care providers are required to offer grief counseling and bereavement services, not every agency offers the same level of support. Turn to us, and you\u2019ll find that our bereavement coordinators, chaplains and social workers are dedicated to providing exceptional care to those in need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you have questions?
