Caring for the Caregivers: Family Support Services at Columbus Regional
When a loved one is facing a serious illness, families often become the quiet heroes—juggling appointments, medications, emotional support, and daily caregiving. At Columbus Regional Healthcare System, we understand that serious illness affects the whole family, not just the patient. That’s why our Palliative Care Program includes comprehensive Family Support Services—designed to care for those who care the most.
From respite care to bereavement support, we walk alongside families through the most challenging moments, offering comfort, education, and a strong shoulder to lean on.
Why Family Support Matters
Family members and caregivers often experience:
- Physical and emotional exhaustion
- Anxiety, depression, or feelings of helplessness
- Difficulty balancing caregiving with work and personal responsibilities
- Grief—even before a loss occurs
Without support, caregivers can burn out, leading to reduced well-being for both themselves and their loved one.
Our goal is to ease that burden—by offering guidance, resources, and compassionate connection at every step.
