The Difference with Visiting Angels’ Palliative Care

Our company follows a holistic, four-pronged approach to palliative care to address your well-being. First, our caregivers manage physical discomfort associated with your disease through personal care assistance, mobility support, cooking your meals, monitoring your nutrition and water intake, medication reminders and homemaking services.

Next, our caregivers nurture your emotional well-being by providing compassionate companionship. We spend quality time with our clients having meaningful conversations that build up morale and a sense of human connection. Your caregiver will bring a positive outlook and reassure you during difficult times.

Further, we decrease isolation by helping clients connect with their family and friends by phone, social media messaging apps or even in person! Our caregivers can provide transportation to social events if you feel up to it.

Lastly, caregivers respect and support your spiritual personal beliefs and practices and will create space and time for reflection and peace, honoring your cultural and religious preferences.
