Research Report: Caregivers in Hospice and Palliative Care
Joint research findings from Elea Institute and NPHI
According to research, caregivers fall into 4 categories: proactive problem solvers, balanced embracers, effective coordinators, and devoted givers.
Research shows that caregivers do not perceive for-profit vs nonprofit as a decision-making factor in hospice decisions.
Findings show that caregivers feel isolated, often experiencing worsening physical and mental health themselves
By offering grants and supporting wide-ranging initiatives, we strive to remove barriers to care, ensuring that compassionate and effective end-of-life care is accessible to all who need it.Kent Mathy; Chairman of the Board
