Family Centered Care: Creating moments of Joy and Celebrating Life
Caring for a child with a life-limiting illness puts a lot of stress on a family. What most families do not know, is that at Community PedsCare we do not only provide care to the patient, but we also offer comprehensive care, education, and support to the entire family. Our team is here to listen to the family’s story, their hopes and values, and help accommodate them. The journey begins with our nurses who answer any questions and are able to guide the family through the instructions on how to administer medication and provide any necessary medical attention to their child. Our social workers step in to listen, assess, and teach. They assist in coping with the social, emotional, and financial issues that the family may be facing. From connecting to resources, and leading support groups, to facilitating events and activities, providing companionship and celebrating memories, our Community PedsCare team partners with our families by focusing on what’s meaningful to them. Support from our team continues throughout the many stages of an illness and does not stop if a loved one passes away. Our bereavement professionals are here to help families work through the grieving process and find peace through individual and group support.
