Counseling & Support
We offer extensive counseling and support services to meet your needs, whether your loved one has just received a serious or life-limiting diagnosis or is already receiving our care. Our counselors are available to provide emotional support before and after a loss through one-on-one grief counseling, support groups and remembrance events. And our trained volunteers provide additional support through assistance with errands, companionship and respite for families. If you are not sure what services you need, our care navigators are available to answer your questions and connect you to resources that can help.
Elder Medical Care
Older individuals living with serious illnesses often find themselves in an unending cycle of health crises that lead from home to the hospital to rehabilitation and back home again. Gilchrist’s team of physicians, nurse practitioners and social workers are experts in providing coordinated geriatric and comfort care, and guidance to improve quality of life. We help ensure that those who often fall through the cracks of the health care system—those who have difficulty traveling to office appointments and for whom treatment is becoming less effective—receive the care and attention they need when and where they need it.

The staff here, all of them, are absolute angels! So caring, so gentle, so understanding! They made the final hours for the family so much more understanding of what to expect. Even the "office" staff were caring. The "after care" was gentle and caring. When I hit the big lottery this place will get a big chunk of it! If you are on the fence about this place, take a deep breath, reach out to them. Oh, they had a musician making the rounds and my wife who was a musician who was mostly quiet in the last days was waving her foot in tune to the music. We all had tears in our eyes. We had no idea she was aware of what was happening. One word of advice, they can hear you! Keep the family gossip, sensitive topics out in the family room not the residents room.

The level of care that my father received during his last days was so special. I could never have imagined that such an amazing place like Gilchrist existed. So incredibly thankful from the bottom of my heart to Gilchrist Howard County for making the end of a hellish journey amazing.

My experience with Gilchrest Center, was nothing short of amazing! In the very short time my mom was there (6 hours), I really felt like she would be cared for adequately. Unfortunately, she passed. The staff really assured me of how they would care for her, and answered all of my questions. The staff let me take my time, and didn’t rush me. I really was at ease, leaving my mom in their hands.

My father and family were treated so well by all the staff there that they deserve special commendation. Dying with dignity can often be a clichéd expression, but Gilchrist lived up to that phrase with their care...and then some. The entire staff were professional and extremely competent with their jobs. If you are considering hospice care for a loved one during their final days, look no further than Gilchrist. You will not regret that decision.
