Support for Spousal Caregivers

The Well Spouse Association partners with a number of organizations that provide complimentary services to spousal caregivers. We exchange links and articles with our partners, to bring each other’s activities and services to the attention of people visiting either site. The cooperation may include giving a presentation or workshop at the partner organization’s conference or other sponsored event, or participating in a event on social media. We are always ready to partner with other organizations. To inquire about partnering, please contact our This email address is being protected from spambots.

VITAS Hospice Care - A serious, advancing life-limiting illness can be a difficult condition to confront--let alone to talk about with your loved ones and friends. Yet, for many of us, the day will come when we need to confront limitations resulting from serious illness and consider how we would like to be treated if our condition became terminal. How might we like our life's final chapters to unfold? For over 40 years, VITAS has advocated for the rights of terminally ill patients and their families. We believe that patients should be apprised of their clinical prognosis and be involved in the decision-making process that determines how their end-of-life care is provided.
