Bereavement Support
Support that continues beyond care
Our Commitment Does Not End
At Alameda Care Hospice, we believe that caring for a family means being present through every stage of the journey — including after the patient has passed. Grief is not something that ends on a timeline, and neither does our support.
Our bereavement program extends for 13 months following the loss of a loved one, providing ongoing counseling, support groups, and resources to help families navigate one of life's most difficult transitions. These services are provided at no cost as part of our commitment to whole-family care.
13 Months of Support
Bereavement services are provided for 13 months following the patient's passing — at no cost to the family. Because grief doesn't follow a schedule.
