If you've got a family member struggling with a chronic illness, you know it's tough. You see their pain and discomfort and wish you could do something to help. That's where palliative care from Visiting Angels of Milford comes in. 

Palliative care is not just for end-of-life situations like many people think; it's for anyone dealing with a long-term illness, at any stage. And it's not just about managing the physical symptoms; it's about taking a broader, more holistic approach to care that can help with the overall health and wellbeing of your loved one.

What Makes Our Palliative Care Special?

Physical Needs
We make sure your loved one is safe, comfortable, and feeling as good as they can in the comfort of their own home. We can help with everything from discreet and dignified private duty care to help with toileting, bathing, dressing and grooming to our “Ready-Set-Go Home” program to help with hospital visits and discharge.

Emotional Support
Dealing with a chronic illness can be exhausting and cause someone to have a lot of big emotions. We get that. Our caregivers are there to listen, chat, and help lift your loved one's spirits.

Social Needs
Our caregivers are also great company, offering a friendly chat and a listening ear. It's the little things, like sharing a laugh or story, that can make a big difference.

Lifted Spirits = Peace of Mind
In addition to helping to lift the spirits and providing inner peace to your loved one; it's also about giving you peace of mind. Knowing someone is there to help out can make things less stressful for everyone.

We work alongside doctors and nurses to make sure your loved one is getting the complete care they need. And while we're not a replacement for medical care, we're a valuable part of the team.

"Visiting Angels made a huge difference for my Grandma and our family. Their caregivers were more like friends than service providers." ~ Christine T.
