Palliative Care by Visiting Angels of Memphis
For aging seniors here in Memphis or those dealing with a serious chronic illness, Visiting Angels Memphis is proud to offer in-home palliative care. Not to be confused with Hospice care or end-of-life care, palliative care is all about doing everything possible to provide comfort and improve the quality of life of an individual suffering from a chronic condition. Additionally, our skilled and compassionate in-home caregivers can provide palliative care alongside other types of home care services.
Understanding Palliative Care
Palliative care can generally be defined as a type of medical approach that is predominately focused on improving the quality of life and doing everything possible to reduce the pain and suffering for individuals facing serious or chronic illnesses. For some patients at the end of terminal cancer or congestive heart failure, palliative care may be used to mitigate suffering, but it is important to note that palliative care does not necessarily mean Hospice or end-of-life care. People of all ages - not just seniors - may benefit from palliative care.

Visiting Angels of Memphis offers compassionate, attentive palliative care to individuals with chronic conditions in Memphis and the surrounding Mid-South areas of Tennessee. Our caregivers at home are well-trained and experienced in providing palliative care as well as other types of home care services for seniors.

The Benefits of In-Home Palliative Care
For those who wish to remain at home, in-home palliative care is a great option, and Visiting Angels of Memphis will take a holistic approach that focuses not just on the physical element of reducing discomfort and pain as much as possible, but also the emotional, spiritual, and social components of your loved one’s life.
There are many benefits to offering palliative care to the individual while in their home. They are more comfortable and more familiar with the surrounding environment, which makes moving around easier (if possible). It can help increase the person’s quality of life by reducing any stress or confusion about being in a new, strange environment. It also helps when nearby family members can easily come and visit to supplement the home care services our in-home caregivers provide.
Customized Care Plans for Your Loved Ones
Our primary goal is to ensure your loved one is as comfortable as possible. If you are currently trying to provide this type of care to a loved one on your own, we offer respite care as well, meaning that we can simply take over for as long as you desire to give you a break and a chance to recharge your batteries, all while knowing your loved one is safe and cared for.
If you have a senior citizen or other loved one in your life who is in need of a customized in-home palliative care plan, Visiting Angels can help. We have a sterling reputation here in the Memphis area, and our caregivers routinely provide our clients with peace of mind.
Client Testimonial
“Visiting Angels has been a blessing to our family. Our father had a stroke and had to be in rehab and assisted living for months. But his one desire was to go back to his house! Annie from Visiting Angels has literally been “our angel”. Knowing she was helping Dad during her hours with him has given our family peace of mind. Everyone at the office has also been helpful and very accessible. It has been a very good experience for our situation! I highly recommend Visiting Angels!”
