Living Hope Hospice

Social Work Services

Facing a terminal illness can bring emotional, social, and practical challenges. At Living Hope Hospice Dallas, our licensed social workers are here to walk alongside you and your family, offering compassionate support and guidance every step of the way.

Support That Goes Beyond Medical Care

While our medical team focuses on comfort and symptom relief, our social workers care for the heart of your journey. They help patients and families navigate emotional pain, relationship concerns, and the stress of preparing for life’s transitions—ensuring no one feels overwhelmed or alone.

Guidance Through Life’s Complexities

From legal paperwork and financial planning to accessing community resources and arranging care logistics, our social workers help lift the burdens that come with end-of-life care. They are thoughtful listeners and knowledgeable advocates, ready to support both immediate and long-term needs.

Emotional and Psychological Support

Our social workers are also trained to provide emotional support, helping individuals and families work through the wide range of feelings that often come with a life-limiting diagnosis—grief, guilt, fear, or even hope. They offer a safe space to talk, reflect, and find comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

The different types of care homes are residential homes, nursing homes, and specialist care homes, such as dementia care homes. Other types of residential care include assisted living and retirement villages. 

The main difference between a residential home and a nursing home is that a nursing home has a qualified nurse on-site 24-hours a day to provide necessary medical care. This means nursing homes can provide a higher level of care. 

If you or a loved one have moved into a care home but feel that you struggle to settle in, it is not the right fit or the location stops family from visiting regularly, you can change care homes. Make sure that you have read the terms of your contract to avoid any issues.

Depending on your financial circumstances and your care needs, you may be able to receive help with paying your care costs. If you have capital below a certain amount, which varies between countries in the UK, your local authority will contribute towards your fees. The NHS may cover your nursing care fees in some circumstances and there are a few benefits you can claim while living in a care home.
