Stewart's Caring Place

Giving compassionate support and education to those touched by cancer.

"You have cancer." Those words can change lives in an instant and set the course for one of the most difficult challenges a person or a family must face. Stewart's Caring Place walks the cancer journey with individuals and families by offering a supportive community of compassion and heart-centered care.

• Our educational programs include speakers who address participants' areas of concern. We also have an extensive lending library staffed by a full time librarian who will conduct internet research and provide packets of information for participants to empower them with knowledge.
• Our healing arts programs, intended to alleviate stress and enhance the immune system, include massage, reiki, healing touch, guided imagery, yoga, tai chi, foot reflexology, chiropractics, polarity, and various therapeutic classes for both children and adults such as art and music therapy, Lebed Movement, preserve memories, and children's day camp.
• To ease the emotional distress that accompanies the cancer journey, we have a full-time counselor on staff, offer various support groups (such as GYN/Oncology, Breast Cancer, Blood Cancer, Man-to-Man Prostate Cancer, Colon Cancer, Caregivers), and have a loving-link program which matches cancer survivors or caregivers with those newly diagnosed. We also have a child life specialist to give children a safe place where they can ask questions and openly talk about their feelings and emotions.

In our safe, homelike environment, people with cancer and their family and friends share experiences and difficulties in a setting of hope and community. Since our programs and services focus on healing the mind, body, and spirit, we support individuals to actively manage the impact of cancer in their lives and improve their quality of life. Our library and educational programs provide participants with knowledge and resources. Our healing arts programs help improve the quality of life by decreasing pain, stress and anxiety. Our counseling services and support groups offer help with dealing with the difficult emotional issues that arise.

Many people need more support than the medical community is able to offer when cancer enters their lives! Stewart's Caring Place complements medical treatment by providing a caring, home-like environment that improves the body, mind and spirit of those touched by cancer. And Stewart's works with participants into long-term survivorship, not just through treatment.
