HOSPICE CARE
More than 95 percent of our patients receive their hospice care at home. Still, many people are surprised to learn that entering hospice care doesn’t necessarily mean moving out of your house.
ADVANCED ILLNESS CARE
Advanced Illness Care is a medical specialty that relieves symptoms and improves quality of life for people of any age, at any stage in an advanced illness, whether that illness is curable, chronic, or life-limiting.
GRIEF SUPPORT
When adjusting with the diagnosis of a serious illness, it is common to experience feelings of loss, emotional distress, and depression. Living with a progressive disease is difficult, and it can cause tremendous strain on patients and families.
PRIMARY CARE AT HOME
The Primary Care at Home program is designed to help elders maintain your dignity and independence by bringing full medical and social services to the home.
VETERANS’ HEALTH & SUPPORT SERVICES
Capital Caring Health has proudly served members of the military since our founding in 1977, providing a full suite of care and services, plus recognition ceremonies and programs to match veteran patients with our veteran volunteers.
CHILDREN’S HOSPICE & PALLIATIVE CARE
Every child is precious and every moment with them matters. So when children face chronic, life-limiting medical conditions, every member of the family is affected.
STAY-AT-HOME SERVICES
From the comfort of home, you or your family members can arrange assistance with anything from rehab, transportation, pharmacy delivery, and more.
PATIENT PET SERVICES
Pets play a critical role in the lives of patients and their families – serving as an endless source of comfort and compassion when words fail.
