Palliative Care for Seniors in San Marcos, CA and Nearby Areas

If an older relative of yours is coping with a chronic sickness or condition, they may need in-home care in order to maintain their independence. Aging adults in North County who live alone typically get consistent help from their families with daily activities. However, elderly people who are living with a chronic health issue often have a greater need for emotional support and consolation in order to keep their spirits up and continue with their normal everyday routines as they age in place at home.

Fortunately, Visiting Angels of North County offers in-home palliative care for seniors, which means your loved one may get not only assistance with daily activities but also the emotional and spiritual support of a sympathetic caregiver. Home care from our agency has allowed seniors in San Marcos, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Vista, Escondido, Rancho Bernardo, and the rest of San Diego County's North County to maintain their independence for as long as possible without having to leave their homes since 2004.

What is Palliative Care and How Can It Help Seniors in San Marcos, CA and Surrounding Areas?

The term "palliative care," which is derived from the Latin word palliare, which means "to cloak," refers to assistance for those with chronic long-term illnesses. Although comparable to hospice care, palliative services are made available to anybody, regardless of their prognosis, whereas hospice care is often designated for patients with a six-month or less prognosis.

Visiting Angels of North County provides palliative care to those living with a wide range of terminal and chronic conditions in San Marcos and nearby areas, including but not limited to:

  • Cancer
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • Congestive heart failure (CHF)
  • Dementia
  • Emphysema
  • Kidney failure
  • Liver failure
  • Lung disease
  • Neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s, ALS, or Alzheimer’s

If an older loved one of yours has been battling a chronic condition for some time, you understand the importance of lending a helping hand with routine activities. But more intensive, hands-on care is what your loved one really needs. The effects of your loved one's illness may extend to their emotional and social well-being as well. Palliative care helps bridge the gap by also tending to your loved one's psychological, spiritual, and social requirements.
