Hospice Care Services for Georgetown, Horry, and Williamsburg Counties

Tidelands Community Hospice’s care and services are available to all regardless of financial status or life situation. No one is ever turned away. Its hospice care involves a team-oriented approach combining medical care, pain and symptom management, and emotional, spiritual and social support expressly tailored to each patient’s and family’s needs and wishes. We provide the care, services, and support needed by our patients and families where they live, be it in their own home, a relative’s home, a nursing home, or an assisted-living facility.

“When grieving a loss no one should be without support.”

How We Can Help 

Tidelands Community Hospice’s care goes beyond the traditional hospice role. We recognize that the greatest loss is that of a loved one. It is a life changing event and coping with that loss is one of life’s biggest challenges. Grief is a natural response and is different for each person. It is an intense and complex journey.

Our Bereavement Services provide experienced team members, trained volunteers, and programs to help guide adults, children, and families through the healing process. Not only do we offer a range of bereavement support for anyone whose loved one was cared for by Tidelands Community Hospice, but we also support any adult, child, or adolescent in our service area who is experiencing grief. 

Our Bereavement Services are funded through generous donations from the community, proceeds from fundraisers and are offered free of charge. 

 Bereavement Support Services include: 

 

• For hospice families: Continuing support and comfort, up to thirteen (13) months, for surviving loved ones of patients through correspondences. When requested, staff schedule follow-up contact. 
• Monthly Support Groups & Workshops: Held in various locations and churches, are open, free of charge, to ALL adults, not just hospice families, in the community who are grieving. 
• Good Mourning Programs: Tailored for ALL children and adolescents in the community who are experiencing grief from one or more losses. 
• Grief Support in Schools, Workplaces, and the Community: Members of our qualified staff are available to assist in the event of the death of a student, teacher, or natural disaster. Informational seminars and training on grief and loss for schools, healthcare providers, and the general community are available.
• Services of Remembrance and Memorial Gatherings: Offer an opportunity to ALL in our community, not just hospice families, to celebrate and remember loved ones who are no longer with us. During our Festival of Trees, a Tribute Trees and Candle Lighting Celebration is held providing support to families and friends remembering loved ones during the holiday season.
