Palliative Care Services in South Phoenix, Buckeye, and the Surrounding Area
Palliative care relieves any discomfort and stress related to a severe illness or health condition so clients can remain in their homes.
This type of care is not the same as hospice or end-of-life care—key differences exist. Hospice and end-of-life care are used strictly for those suffering from terminal illnesses or other primary health conditions. Palliative care can be offered 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)
- Severe other health conditions
While we off this type of care for clients, we also offer end-of-life care for those in need.
Our Palliative Care Services
Visiting Angels takes a unique approach to palliative care; other agencies and caregivers will focus exclusively on relieving any pain or physical discomfort. Our caregivers understand that serious illnesses or health conditions can affect more than a person's physical discomfort; they can affect an individual's well-being in many other ways. This is why we take the holistic approach.
We focus on four areas through our Palliative Care Certification Program:
- Physical Needs
Our caregivers focus on your loved one's physical health and comfort. We also coordinate care with input from doctors, nurses, or other medical professionals.
- Emotional Needs
We find ways to make day-to-day life enjoyable, help clients maintain routines, and address anxiety, depression, and stress.
- Social Needs
Our caregivers develop close relationships with individuals and their families. We provide companionship and conversation to relieve feelings of loneliness.
- Spiritual Needs
When providing palliative services, we strive to restore hope for your loved one and your family, helping you find peace of mind during difficult times.
