Palliative Care in Medford, MA

When you or your loved one is diagnosed with a serious illness or chronic condition, it is likely the individual will want to continue living at home with their own, familiar surroundings. When this is the case, but the individual is unable to keep up with their own personal care or housekeeping, seek out non-medical palliative care from Visiting Angels in Medford, Massachusetts.

Get Started

What is Palliative Care?

Palliative care is a distinct type of care that can be provided at any time after the diagnosis of a chronic illness; be it the same week or the last months of life. That said, palliative services can also be stopped or started at any time as symptoms evolve.

Our professional care assistants (PCAs) provide companionship, emotional support, and assistance with daily activities of living such as personal care, meal preparation, and light housekeeping.

The list of chronic illnesses that our caregivers are trained to assist with include:

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


Benefits of Palliative Care at Home

The biggest advantage of having a trained caregiver by you or your loved one’s side is that it can significantly reduce the stress and anxiety felt during an otherwise overwhelming experience. Our certified Palliative Care program adheres to a holistic approach geared toward addressing 4 primary aspects of an individual’s well being at home:

Physical Health - We acknowledge physical concerns and provide comfort.

Emotional - We instill positivity and a sense of purpose.

Social - We develop a meaningful connection through companionship and thoughtful conversation to relieve loneliness and isolation.

Spiritual - Caregivers contribute to the individual’s overall sense of inner calm while simultaneously helping families find peace of mind during a challenging time.

In-Home Palliative Services for Chronic Conditions

Visiting Angels’ caregivers in Medford must earn non-medical training through a unique Palliative Care Certification that they use to support physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of chronically ill individuals.

If you or your loved one lives with a chronic condition, contact our local Visiting Angels home care agency to discuss a plan for in-home palliative care.
