Welcome to the Caregiver's Corner.
When a loved one is dying, family members and other loved ones are suddenly thrust into the role of caregiver with little preparation, and without knowing what to expect. Hospice can help.
The Caregiver's Corner offers practical tools, reading suggestions, and tips on caregiving for persons near the end-of-life. Most of this information is useful under other caregiving situations.
So whether you are a paid caregiving professional or someone new to the caregiving experience, we at Hospice Foundation of America hope that the Caregiver's Corner will serve as a helpful source of information for you.
Suggestions for Navigating through the Caregiver’s Corner
View our Tools section to see if there are any useful items for you. Spend a few minutes in the Reading corner where you may learn the caregiving literature. HFA has reviewed these publications for usefulness. The two sites listed below are exceptionally valuable for caregivers, and you will find additional help searching through our database of other caregiving organizations in the Links section.
We hope you will return often during your caregiving journey. We welcome your suggestions. It is the voice of our audience that has helped us build this Caregiver's Corner. You can help us enhance it for others.
Thank you.

Man has never made any material as resilient as the human spirit.

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.
