Comfort and Peace of Mind for Your Loved One with a Chronic Condition

Visiting Angels excels in non-medical palliative care by providing companionship, emotional support, and assistance with daily activities such as personal care, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. Our caregivers will offer respite for your family members, ensuring your loved one receives a holistic approach to palliative care that promotes comfort and dignity during challenging times.

Our personalized approach emphasizes companionship and meaningful engagement, fostering a supportive environment that enhances your loved one’s overall well-being.

In-Home Services for Chronic Conditions

Palliative care is often associated with hospice or end-of-life care. However, there are key differences between palliative and hospice care. Hospice delivers services to those with limited life expectancy, while palliative care is provided any time after the diagnosis of a chronic illness – even during treatment.

At Visiting Angels, we treat palliative care as a distinct type of care. Our Certified Palliative Care program follows a comforting, holistic approach to address a range of essential non-medical services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Palliative care is a specialized approach to support and relieve individuals with chronic conditions by managing their physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being and comfort. Palliative care aims to enhance an individual’s quality of life and offer peace of mind for their families.

Hospice, or end-of-life care, delivers services to those with limited life expectancy, while palliative care can be provided any time after the diagnosis of a chronic illness, regardless of a person's life expectancy. Hospice services can begin when curative treatments stop, and palliative care can be offered in conjunction with treatments.
