Family caregivers are crucial in hospice care, directly impacting patient outcomes and family well-being. With around 53 million caregivers in the U.S. involved in healthcare decisions, their support is essential to the quality of care provided. When caregivers receive adequate resources and information, they are better equipped to address patient needs, leading to improved care experiences. However, a lack of support can diminish patient care and affect healthcare organization ratings. To strengthen caregiver support, a multi-faceted approach that includes legislative action, workforce training, and timely reimbursements is needed to enhance the resources available to hospice providers.
