Comfort and presence at the end of life
A caregiver who stays present through the hard parts, not just the scheduled ones, so your family can focus on being together.
Being there, so you can be family
Many people want to spend their last weeks or months at home. Families want that for them too, but the care can be exhausting, especially at night.
Our caregivers handle the personal care and the long hours so your family can rest and spend time together. They work alongside your palliative doctor and health team, and follow their guidance.
When families call us for palliative support
- Your loved one has chosen to spend their last months or weeks at home
- Nights are becoming hard, and family members are not sleeping
- Personal care and repositioning need more hands than the family has
- The palliative team visits, but the long hours between visits are on you
- You want time to be family, not only caregivers
How a palliative support caregiver helps
- Personal care, repositioning, and keeping your loved one comfortable
- Overnight and long-shift coverage so family can sleep
- Quiet company, and space for visitors and family time
- Watching for changes and telling the family and care team
- Help keeping the home calm and running
- Respect for your family's faith, customs, and wishes
This is non-medical support. Pain management, medication, and medical decisions stay with your palliative doctor and health team.
