Ziyara Muslim Spiritual Care is dedicated to helping families at any time a patient dies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to The Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JACHO), the assessment of patient’s spiritual needs is required on patients receiving end-of-life care (PC.01.02.01 EP4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A non-Muslim chaplain can provide comfort, but will be unable to fulfill the religious needs of a Muslim patient.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n End-of-Life care includes the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n A Muslim chaplain, a volunteer, or an Imam are ideal to be present at the time of death and offer support to the family, read the Quran, and comfort the dying Muslim patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Decedent Care<\/b>: A non-Muslim chaplain can be an excellent source of support to Muslim families and patients. The presence of a chaplain may bring comfort, help address grief, sadness, provide the family a list of Islamic cemeteries or Islamic centers, or expedite the release of the deceased for burial.

We communicate with families to explain the steps they need to take to make in order to bury, whether the burial will be local, out-of-town, or international. We visit dying patients in the hospital, at home, or wherever home is.
