Learning a family member or loved one has been diagnosed with a terminal illness or limited life expectancy is a difficult experience. Determining how to best care for him or her in their final days only adds to the stress and pressure.

Our team is here to support you and your loved one by working with a hospice agency or medical provider to meet the level of care required. We care for our clients by making them comfortable and helping around the house. Our professionally trained staff also provides the family with much-needed emotional and moral support during this difficult time.

What Are the Benefits Of End Of Life Support?

There are many reasons to select in-home end-of-life care over a hospital after receiving a terminal diagnosis. Staying at home, where everything is familiar, can be a great comfort to those with only a little time left. It is also easier for family and friends to gather at home than at a hospital, as there are no visiting hours or other restrictions. Nursing homes carry some of the same restrictions and may not be appropriate for your senior loved one. Our clients receiving this care have more control over their lives than they would in a hospital or hospice facility. They can enjoy their daily activities without interruption from countless doctors and nurses throughout the day. Since an end-of-life diagnosis can be anywhere from days to months or years, it is vital you have the best level of in-home care and comfort available.
