When we talk about hospice care, we often focus on physical comfort—but mental and emotional well-being are just as important. At Caring Hands Hospice in Las Vegas, we believe that quality end-of-life care must support the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.
Whether someone is facing a terminal diagnosis or caring for a loved one in their final stage of life, mental health challenges can arise. Feelings of anxiety, sadness, fear, and even anger are natural. But no one should face them alone.

Why Mental Health Support Matters in Hospice
The end of life can stir up a wide range of emotions—for both patients and their families. Unresolved grief, fear of the unknown, and changes in identity can all impact a person’s emotional well-being. Left unaddressed, these feelings can lead to depression, anxiety, and isolation.
That’s why palliative care includes emotional support, not just physical relief.
At Caring Hands Hospice, we provide:
Grief counseling and bereavement support
Access to licensed social workers and chaplains
Spiritual care tailored to individual beliefs
In-home hospice care that offers dignity and peace in a familiar setting
Support groups and resources for family caregivers
Supporting Families, Too
Mental health doesn’t just affect patients—caregivers and loved ones also need support. Watching someone you love decline can be heartbreaking, and it’s normal to feel overwhelmed or uncertain. That’s why our hospice team offers respite care, emotional check-ins, and grief support for families both before and after loss.
You don’t have to carry this alone.
