caregiver support

Giving care to a loved one is hard, hard work: usually both emotionally and physically draining. In order to have the energy and strength to continue to provide care, a caregiver must take care of themselves. Desert Valley Hospice Society is here to help you. Call to talk , to arrange respite care from one of our highly trained, compassionate and caring hospice volunteers or to arrange for your loved one to attend our SHINE / Supportive Care Day Program. Please call our office 250-495-1590 ext 103 to speak to DVHS's Volunteer Program Director
​or email programs@desertvalleyhopice.org
