Providing in-home care for an older loved one coping with a chronic sickness or condition may help them maintain independence. Families often help their elderly relatives who live alone with mundane duties regularly. Seniors who are sick, on the other hand, usually need emotional support and reassurance to keep their spirits up and live their daily lives.

Thankfully, Visiting Angels of Benton offers in-home palliative care, so your loved one may get practical aid with daily activities and the emotional and spiritual support of a sympathetic caregiver. We want to help seniors in Alexander, Benton, Bryant, Mabelvale, and surrounding areas in Arkansas remain in their own homes for as long as possible.

What is Palliative Care, and How Does it Help Seniors in Benton, AR, and Nearby Areas?

Palliative care is a senior care service that focuses on giving pain treatment and emotional support to someone with a chronic disease. Although comparable to hospice care, palliative services are made available to anybody, regardless of their prognosis, whereas hospice care is often designated for patients with a six-month or less prognosis.

If a senior loved one of yours has been battling a chronic illness for some time, you understand the importance of lending a helping hand with everyday activities. But your loved one will benefit most from more intensive, hands-on senior care. The effects of your loved one's illness may extend to their emotional and social well-being. Palliative care from Visiting Angels of Benton fills in the blanks, tending to your loved one's physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs.

Comfort depends on meeting your loved one's personal care needs. Our caregivers can ensure your loved one has clean clothes to wear and plenty to eat and provide regular check-ins to determine if they have any other needs during the day.

Our senior care providers do this in several ways, one of which is by showing concern for the care recipient's well-being and forming meaningful bonds with them over time.
