Having your loved one diagnosed with a terminal illness or another condition that limits their life expectancy can be an emotionally devastating experience. At Visiting Angels of Chelsea, we are committed to helping seniors find joy and comfort at all stages of life–even in those final stages. Our caregivers at Visiting Angels of Chelsa can provide your loved one with in-home non-medical care services that will lessen their discomfort and give them the time to focus on the things that truly matter to them. Additionally, with our caregivers in charge of your loved one’s end-of-life care, you and your family can spend less time providing necessary care and more time enjoying your loved one’s company. 

When my dear friend, a beautiful young woman in her thirties, passed in 2007, her last wish--as an only child--was to care for her parents after her passing. When her mom became ill in 2020 and needed home care, I reached out to several organizations for information and assistance on how to provide the appropriate care. In stepped Visiting Angels who not only provided the care and attention needed for my friend's mom but also provided care and support for her father. The love and attention we received from Visiting Angels made it possible for my friend's parents to pass with the care and love my dear friend wanted for them. I became friends with several of the VA staff, who contacted me daily with updates on their care and activity. The VA caretakers sent photos and videos when I couldn't be there, displaying the care and love so freely given. Thank you to Buteau and all the beautiful Angels who helped to make the last few years of my dear friend's parents' lives be what she requested.”

Compassionate End of Life Care at Home

Many seniors wish to reside at home instead of an assisted living facility, especially during their final years. This is understandable, as the familiarity of home provides seniors at the end of life with added comfort and eliminates the need for a stressful move to a hospice care facility. However, it can be potentially dangerous for some seniors with serious health conditions to live alone. That’s where our team of trained, licensed, and background-checked caregivers at Visiting Angels can help. 

With Visiting Angels, your loved one will receive outstanding care from our caregivers at home. They will not have to worry about the day-to-day tasks and routines that would be challenging without help. We can provide many different types of services such as dressing assistance, walking assistance, meal preparation, diet monitoring, light housekeeping, errands, shopping, medication reminders, and meaningful companionship. For seniors who have other conditions in addition to a terminal illness, we can also provide specialized services including palliative care, fall prevention services, Alzheimer's care, dementia care, and other specialty care. 

Providing Respite Care For Family Caregivers

While often a very rewarding endeavor, being a family caregiver can be very stressful and energy-intensive–especially when caring for a senior loved one who is at the end stages of life. If you need a break, our Visiting Angels caregivers can temporarily take over for you and care for your loved one while you take a moment to rest and recharge. Our caregivers are available to provide respite care services as often as needed at any stage of your loved one’s life.
