Community Resources
For our patients, families, and anyone wishing to learn more about end-of-life care.
Our social workers, chaplains, grief counselors, and volunteers are available to help with everything from care logistics to companionship for family and patients to individual counseling and support groups.
At-Home Grief Support Resources
Grief impacts everyone differently. That’s why we offer a wide range of resources to help individuals and families as they walk through the grieving process.
Learn About Our Residences
Alive’s residences in Nashville and Murfreesboro provide 24/7 care when it is needed to stabilize a patient or when a caregiver needs their own respite.
Designed to feel like home, they feature a garden courtyard, family gathering areas, and plenty of space for visitors.
Community Education
Death can be hard to talk about, but we can’t prepare ourselves or those we love if we aren’t brave enough to break the silence. Let us help you start the conversation.
