How Can Palliative Care Help Seniors in Carlisle, Gettysburg, Chambersburg and Surrounding Communities?
Palliative care enhances the quality of life of seniors who are struggling with serious long-term illnesses and health conditions. Contrary to popular belief, palliative and hospice care are two different services, even though they share a lot of similarities. They are both designed to relieve pain and discomfort, but hospice care is reserved for seniors who are nearing the end of life. Our services are delivered at home and they bring a sense of peace and well-being, regardless of life expectancy.
Caregivers who receive our Palliative Care Certification know how to approach care with a holistic mindset and possess the skills to provide supportive, soothing and comforting care.
Palliative in-home care focuses on your loved one’s physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs by addressing:
- Physical care needs of clients by recognizing the signs of age-related issues and providing essential personal home care
- Emotional needs of our clients by offering compassion and support to seniors who may be suffering from loneliness, stress or depression
- Social needs of seniors by building relationships with clients and providing them with companionship and conversation
- Spiritual needs of clients by restoring hope, helping them find comfort and relief from health issues they are struggling with treating them with dignity and respect
