Family Support

Supporting Patients and Families Through Social Wellness

At Pure Healthcare, we recognize that social wellness is an important part of the lives of each person and family we serve. By developing meaningful relationships and interacting with others throughout our lives, we nurture relationships with others and give and receive social support during the good times and the difficult times. Social wellness can improve an individual’s quality of life and help family members.

Being diagnosed with a chronic illness is difficult. By taking a whole-person approach and addressing more than a person’s symptoms, we are working to make healthcare better.

When facing a chronic illness, common feelings for patients and loved ones include sadness, anxiety, fear, anger, and stress. These emotions come from new grief and the unknowns of illness. Social wellness and support help encourage the individuals we serve and their families.

Positive social habits help build support systems and help you stay healthier mentally and physically.

Social support can take many forms, including:

• Emotional support, such as ensuring another person feels cared for.
• Physical support, such as housekeeping or financial assistance.
• Informational support, such as providing information to someone to help them.

Caregivers who care for an individual with a chronic illness also should make an effort to improve their social wellness and health. The expert care teams at Pure Healthcare offer clinical and emotional and spiritual support to individuals and their families.
