What a Palliative Care Visit Looks Like

A typical visit from a Visiting Angels caregiver might include helpful tasks like preparing nutritious foods, help with dressing and/or personal hygiene, reading books together out loud, and offering emotional support during difficult moments.

Our Personalized Palliative Care Process

Getting started with in-home palliative care is easy and straightforward. The process begins with a complimentary home consultation to understand your loved one’s unique circumstances. Our care coordinator takes time to listen and learn about your loved one's specific needs, hobbies and daily routines.

Discussing palliative care needs is a sensitive subject for people, especially older adults who value their independence. We strive to demonstrate empathy and respect during these delicate conversations so you and your loved one feel comfortable throughout the process.

After your initial consultation, we develop a customized palliative care plan outlining the specific services and schedule that will work for your family. We carefully match caregivers based on their personalities, skills, and interests to complement your loved one's needs and preferences.

Benefits of Choosing Visiting Angels’ Palliative Care

Professional non-medical palliative care services from Visiting Angels offer practical, emotional, social and spiritual assistance for individuals experiencing chronic pain, serious illness, or ongoing health conditions. This makes aging in place for older adults who need help with household tasks or personal care to be able to maintain their independence and dignity.

The companionship from one of our angels decreases the isolation or loneliness that many seniors with limitations of chronic conditions experience. We believe that regular social and emotional interactions with your caregiver help create a nurturing home that supports the individual’s overall well-being.

Most importantly, palliative care allows seniors to remain in their familiar surroundings during challenging times and health setbacks. We want to help them enjoy a quality of life full of meaningful moments despite their health obstacles.
