End-of-Life Care for Families in Greater Gainesville, FL

We provide comforting end-of-life care for families in Gainesville, Fort White, Starke, Palatka, and nearby cities

When a family member is diagnosed with limited life expectancy, he or she often has a strong desire to spend the final days in the comfort of home. However, providing 24-hour home care for a loved one at the end of their life can be emotionally challenging and physically exhausting. Comfort Keepers of Gainesville, FL, can support you and your loved one by working with a hospice agency or palliative care provider to meet the family’s end-of-life care needs fully. We will help care for the client, help around the house, and provide emotional and moral support to the family. Contact us today by calling (352) 855-3793.

What Is End-of-Life Care?

This level of care is reserved for those who are terminally ill, have chronic diseases, or have a short lifespan. It can be done at home or in a nursing home. This care aims to provide comfort to all parties involved so that every moment can be maximized. If necessary, these senior care services can be extended to the family following the death of a loved one.

How Our Care Can Help Add To Palliative Care

A home health aide can help ease the stress and allow you to take every opportunity to be with your loved one. Our services include:

• bathing, dressing, and toileting assistance for your loved one
• light house cleaning
• laundry as needed
• food preparation
• companionship to your loved one so you can get a much-needed break
• a professional relationship with your palliative care provider to balance services

We can also continue to help after a loved one’s passing. Our Comfort Keepers can help families deal with the loss and assist with tasks such as organizing personal items and moving belongings—or simply be there to listen if family members need to talk and process their grief.
