What Is Caritas Good Samaritan Hospice?

Caritas Good Samaritan Hospice provides at-home medical care and support for terminally-ill patients in communities throughout Greater Boston. Our goal is to provide comfort care, pain management and symptom control for patients who have chosen to remain at home. We teach our caregivers how to provide the best care for the patient. This care includes:

• medical and nursing care, with personnel on call 24 hours a day
• home health aides, who assist with personal care
• social services for support and counsel
• pastoral care to address your religious needs and provide spiritual support
• volunteers, who offer friendship and companionship
• bereavement counselor, who supports the family and relatives in coping with their loss. The counselor is available by phone, visit or in a bereavement support group. Special services such as pre-bereavement, community workshops, and children's resources are available.
