Visiting Angels Offers Comforting and Personalized Palliative Care for Seniors in Loudoun, Northern Fairfax, and Clarke Counties

Palliative care provided by Visiting Angels® of Northern Virginia is available for those living with a serious illness and are needing skilled care within their home. We provide palliative care that goes beyond the regular scope of these services; unlike other agencies we focus primarily on the individual’s holistic care. Our care providers work with their client’s physical care as well as their emotional, social, and spiritual well-being.

We work diligently so that our clients can live at home with conditions such as ALS, cancer, or Parkinson's disease. We work hard to make your loved one’s home a comforting and supportive environment, restoring hope and assisting in the healing process.

What Is Palliative Care at Home?

Palliative care provided by Visiting Angels® of Northern Virginia is available for those living with a serious illness and are needing skilled care within their home. We provide palliative care that goes beyond the regular scope of these services; unlike other agencies we focus primarily on the individual’s holistic care. Our care providers work with their client’s physical care as well as their emotional, social, and spiritual well-being.

Do not confuse this care with hospice care or end-of-life-care, because they are not one in the same. Hospice and end-of-life-care are meant for those with a terminal illness or health condition, whereas palliative care can be provided regardless of life expectancy.

Palliative care can assist individuals living with:

• Cancer
• Heart Disease
• Kidney Disease
• Alzheimer's Disease
• Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
• Parkinson's Disease
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
• Other serious health conditions

In addition to our in-home palliative home care services, we also offer a program dedicated to just end of life care.

Our Palliative Care Services

We take a different approach to care than other agencies; our palliative providers focus exclusively on relieving pain and discomfort. We do know how serious illness and health conditions can affect an individual’s day to day well-being in more ways than just one. This is why we take the holistic approach.

Through our care services for palliative clients, we offer a focus on the following areas:

• Care for Physical Health - our caregivers can assist with mobility, transferring, and participate in physical therapy or other exercises.
• Care for Emotional Health - we are companions at heart, meaning we build long-lasting bonds with our clients.
• Care for Social Health - we help seniors keep social connections with friends and family in many different ways.
• Care for Spiritual Health - our caregivers can take your loved one to their worship house of choice.
