This National Caregivers Day, we honor the dedication of caregivers everywhere. At Ohio’s Hospice, we recognize both our care team members who deliver superior care and superior services, and the family caregivers who support their loved ones each day. 

Caregivers touch countless lives, whether they are supporting someone managing a chronic illness, helping with daily activities, or providing compassionate end-of-life care that brings comfort and dignity to those facing life-limiting illnesses. Caregivers are essential partners in our mission of celebrating the lives of those we have the privilege of serving. Whether they are hospice-certified professionals or family members, caregivers offer support and dignity when it matters most. 

Our approach to care embraces not only the patient but also their families and loved ones, as we recognize that a life-limiting illness impacts everyone in the family circle. As a not-for-profit provider, we are privileged to serve alongside family caregivers by supporting them with resources, education, and sometimes respite care. 

We also understand that providing care, while deeply meaningful, can be physically and emotionally demanding. For caregivers to continue to be supportive, they must also care for themselves. This includes taking time to rest, seeking support when needed, and maintaining their own well-being. Self-care is a critical aspect of being a good caregiver.
