How Can Palliative Care Help Seniors in Carlisle, Gettysburg, Chambersburg, and Surrounding Communities?

Palliative care enhances the quality of life of seniors who are struggling with serious long-term illnesses and health conditions. Contrary to popular belief, palliative and hospice care are two different services, although they share many similarities. They are both designed to relieve pain and discomfort, but hospice care is reserved for seniors who are nearing the end of life. Our services are delivered at home, bringing peace and well-being regardless of life expectancy.

Caregivers who receive our Palliative Care Certification know how to approach care holistically and possess the skills to provide supportive, soothing, and comforting care.

Palliative in-home care focuses on your loved one’s physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs by addressing:

• Physical care needs of clients by recognizing the signs of age-related issues and providing essential personal home care
• Emotional needs of our clients by offering compassion and support to seniors who may be suffering from loneliness, stress, or depression
• Social needs of seniors by building relationships with clients and providing them with companionship and conversation
• Spiritual needs of clients by restoring hope, helping them find comfort and relief from health issues they are struggling with, treating them with dignity and respect
