Caregivers

You are not alone.

Caregivers are the family members, friends, and loved ones who provide support and care to someone facing a serious or advanced illness. Whether your loved one lives with you and depends on you daily, or lives independently and needs occasional assistance, you play an important role in their care journey.

Providing care for someone you love can be meaningful, rewarding, and challenging. You don't have to navigate it alone. Compassionate Care Plus offers services and resources designed to support, educate, and empower caregivers every step of the way.

Home Hospice Care

Home hospice care is designed for individuals facing a serious or advanced illness who wish to focus on comfort, quality of life, and receiving care wherever they call home. Our team partners with patients and caregivers to provide expert symptom management, emotional support, education, and practical assistance that can help make the caregiving journey more manageable.

Compassionate Care Center

Our Compassionate Care Center provides additional support when care needs change. Short-term respite stays offer caregivers an opportunity to rest, attend to personal needs, or manage unexpected family situations while knowing their loved one is receiving compassionate, professional care. The Center also provides short-term inpatient care for individuals experiencing symptoms that require more intensive management.

Grief & Loss Support

Caring for someone with a serious illness can bring feelings of grief long before a loss occurs. Our Grief & Loss Support program provides compassionate support for caregivers, family members, and anyone coping with anticipatory grief or loss. Services include one-on-one support, support groups, educational resources, and special remembrance events.

How We Support Caregivers

Our services help:

  • Reduce unnecessary hospitalizations through specialized care provided at home or at the Compassionate Care Center
  • Support and empower caregivers through education, guidance, and ongoing assistance
  • Enhance quality of life through expert pain and symptom management
  • Provide practical support with medications, equipment, and care planning
  • Offer emotional, spiritual, and grief support throughout the caregiving journey
  • Connect individuals and families with resources and support, including those who may be underinsured
Our care is centered on helping individuals live with comfort, dignity, and purpose while continuing to do the things that matter most to them. For Marlene, that meant playing the carillon. Her Home Hospice care team worked closely with her and her family caregivers to help make that special moment possible.

This journey can be filled with many twists and turns, but you aren't alone.  We’re here to guide you and your family through the process one step at a time.

We go above and beyond the basics of hospice care.

Although nearly all insurance programs fully cover hospice care, we go above and beyond to ensure care that truly promotes quality of life – as YOU define it. Whether it’s a flight around the county or a wedding, we partner with you to create special experiences that make this chapter of life meaningful and memorable.  

 

We provide care for all, even those who may be underinsured.

Not all hospices, and certainly not all healthcare organizations, will provide care to those who are uninsured or underinsured. As a non-profit organization, our mission is care for all. Our donors make that possible.

We offer free resources and education for the community.

Through our speakers bureau, we offer free education to your civic group, church, business, or other organization. Our expert staff can present on advance care planning, grief and loss, hospice care, and caregiver issues. Contact us to request a speaker. We also provide free advance care planning documents, like the Five Wishes booklet, to residents in our service area.

Who qualifies for hospice care?

Individuals living with a serious or advanced illness may be eligible for hospice care. Compassionate Care Plus provides specialized support focused on comfort, symptom management, quality of life, and helping patients and families navigate the challenges that can accompany serious or advanced illness.

How We Help

Whether you are navigating a serious or advanced illness or caring for someone who is, you have a lot on your mind.

We're happy to answer questions about our services, eligibility, referrals, and available resources. Whether you're seeking care for yourself, a loved one, or simply looking for information, our team is here to help. You don't have to sign up for anything to start a conversation.

When should I contact Compassionate Care Plus?
Many families tell us they wish they had reached out sooner. If you or a loved one is facing a serious or advanced illness, experiencing changes in health, or simply needs additional support, now is a good time to start the conversation.

The earlier we become involved, the more opportunities we have to provide education, resources, and support for both patients and families.

What services are right for me?
Every situation is unique. The services that may be appropriate depend on a variety of factors, including a person's diagnosis, goals of care, support system, and current needs.

Our team will take time to understand your situation, answer your questions, and help determine what services and resources may be the best fit.

How do I get started? We recommend contacting us to learn more about programs and options. You can do that here, by calling us at 859-986-1500, or via email to info@ccpky.org. Once you’re ready, we can work with your loved one’s providers to review medical records and arrange for a home or facility visit from one of our nurses. The nurse will assess your loved one and answer your questions.
